The type of precipitation common on seacoasts is?

If you take yourself back to first principals, orographic precipitation is caused by air moving over hills and mountains.\n\nWe'll put convectional on hold for the moment.\n\nsnow may fall on seacoasts if the the temperature is cold enough.  In the UK snow on seacoasts is usually associated with northerly winds in winter.  The air is coming from a very cold place and it snows.  It snows at least as much inland. Although snow can fall on sea coasts, it is not typical.\n\nDew is condensation.  It is formed in situ. It is not precipitation at all.  Precipitation is something that falls from the sky.\n\nYou may remember daytime sea breezes and night time land breezes which are dependent on convection.  A few miles inland you can get sea breeze fronts and like other fronts, these may produce precipitation.

The main types of clounds are cumulus, stratus, cirrus, and nimbus.  The page below has explanations of these words and pictures of the different types.

They say in New England that if you don't like the weather, wait a minute!  You are right.\n\n  Being along the coast there is often a marked temperature difference between the land and sea and that can fuel weather changes.  Low pressure systems often follow the coast with anti-clockwise rotating storms that bring in stormy weather from the sea to the land, often well inland.  Because the wind comes from the northeast, it can produce the famous (infamous?) northeaster storms bringing much snow in winter and rain at other times.

any type of water that falls from the sky e.g. rain, sleet, hail, snow, acid rain, flurry, drizzle, etc.

Neither. When cold air hits wet, moist air it chills it until it can no longer hold the moisture and you have rain. \nLook at a map of the U.S. The green areas are all along the coast where the ocean is warmer than the land and the air from the land causes rain. Clouds are just fog and cannot clash.\n\nOr, sometimes it is because the Thunder God, Thor, strikes his mighty hammer and causes Odin to send down torrents of rain on Loki's head. Take your pick!

The East Coast is relatively warmer than the West Coast.\nThus being more conducive to crustacean / mollusck habitation at sea

Ocean currents are different in the Atlantic than they are in the Pacific.  Atlantic Ocean currents go clockwise, so the water hitting the east coast of the US is coming from the tropics.  Pacific Ocean currents are clockwise as well, but that means that water hitting the west coast of the US is coming from the Arctic.

Hurricanes (Atlantic Ocean) and typhoons (Pacific Ocean) are both cyclonic large low pressure cells exceeding a certain sustained wind speed.  Storms are similar, but smaller and with less sustained winds.  Sailors use the Beaufort Scale to separate intensity of weather systems.

Atlantic coasts have Nimbus clouds and hence they appear to be more cloudy

Wikipedia has a good answer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclone\n\nin addition:\n\nhttp://www.britannica.com/eb/article-67118\n\nFormation of tropical cyclones\n\nTropical cyclones represent still another example of sea-air interactions. These storm systems are known as hurricanes in the North Atlantic and eastern North Pacific and as typhoons in the western North Pacific. The winds of such systems revolve around a centre of low pressure in an anticlockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and in a clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere. The winds attain velocities in excess of 115 kilometres per hour, or 65 knots, in most cases. Tropical cyclones may last from a few hours to as long as two weeks, the average lifetime being six days.\n\nThe oceans provide the source of energy for tropical cyclones both by direct heat transfer from their surface (known as sensible heat) and by the evaporation of water. This water is subsequently condensed within a storm system, thereby releasing latent heat energy. When a tropical cyclone moves over land, this energy is severely depleted and the circulation of the winds is consequently weakened.\n\nSuch storms are truly phenomena of the tropical oceans. They originate in two distinct latitude zones, between 4° and 22° S and between 4° and 35° N. They are absent in the equatorial zone between 4° S and 4° N. Most tropical cyclones are spawned on the poleward side of the region known as the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ).\n\nMore than two-thirds of observed tropical cyclones originate in the Northern Hemisphere, and roughly the same proportion occur in the Eastern Hemisphere. The North Pacific has more than one-third of all such storms, while the southeast Pacific and South Atlantic are normally devoid of them. Most northern hemispheric tropical cyclones occur between May and November, with peak periods in August and September. The majority of southern hemispheric cyclones occur between December and April, with peaks in January and February.\n\n\n---------------------------------------------\n\nTyphoon is a tropical cyclone located in the western north Pacific basin (between 100E and 180E in the northern hemisphere). The category of a typhoon is decided by the maximum sustained winds, but please note that the typhoon in Japanese standard and the typhoon in international standard is not the same. Finally, among tropical cyclones in the world, the typhoon is the most frequent and the strongest tropical cyclone (http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/digital-typhoon/help/world.html.en)\n------------------------------------------------------\n\nhttp://www.taiwanho.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=205\n\nTyphoons (called hurricanes in the Atlantic and East Pacific, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean and around Australia) are the worlds most violent and destructive storm systems. Around 17 typhoons form annually in the West Pacific, of which around one third make landfall. They are giant whirlwinds, with air circulating around an area of low pressure, and high winds extending about 100km from the centre.\n\nMost typhoons form between 5-30 degrees latitude, and 110-180 degrees longitude. Typhoons that form in the east of this region can travel for long distances without being affected by landmasses. This gives them plenty of time to build up their strength. Hence, the very strong and long lasting supertyphoons tend to form closer to the date line. Sea surface temperatures in the Nino 4 region (5S-5N, 160E-150W) affect the longitude at which typhoons tend to form. Warm sea surface temperatures in this region result in more typhoons forming closer to the date line.\n\nSome prerequisites for typhoon formation are listed below:\n\n1. Sea surface temperatures greater than 26C to a depth of 60m. This provides the moisture for the thunderstorm activity in the storm.\n\n2. A large enough drop in temperature with height so that the atmosphere is conditionally unstable to

All of the above, however average precipitation is a better descriptor (as opposed to rainfall), as it includes snowfall or any other method of water falling from the sky.

Because you are in the neighborhood of ocean. In the day when it starts warming up, the water in the sea evaporates and then the clouds come with wind. So it rains in the afternoon or the evening when there are enough raindrops in the clouds

When sun shines on water, it warms it up and since heat is lighter, the water kinda floats up into the air. That's called evaporating. Then when it's high in the sky, many little water droplets come together and from clouds. When there's too many water droplets, the cloud becomes to watery and it rains. Then it starts all over again.
