The upward movement of a parcel of air requires the mechanism, which may affect the ascent of air. Such mechanism is called lifting mechanism and falls into three categories which are:

A. The adiabatic lifting is caused due to cooling of a parcel of ascending air.

B. The cyclonic lifting is caused due to meeting of two thermally contrasted air masses and subsequent formation of cyclonic front.

C. The orographic lifting is caused by orographic barrier where in a horizontally moving air encounters hills or mountains and is forced to rise along the windward slope of the hills.

D. The condensation lifting is caused due to decrease of temperature of a parcel of ascending air beyond condensation level.

E. The convectional lifting is caused due to warming of surface air due to insolation heating.
