Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Along a warm front, warm air is lifted gently and steadily over cooler air, which can cause a prolonged period of precipitation. Wind direction also shifts gradually along the front, rather than abruptly as in the case of a cold front. Option A describes a cold front, option C describes a high pressure system, and option D describes the characteristics of an air mass, but not specifically the area along a warm front.
