Frontal lifting:
A)is not related to temperature differences between air masses.
B)leads to increased pressure on the warm front.
C)can act in a way that is analogous to orographic lifting.
D)is most pronounced when a cold front meets a cold front.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frontal lifting occurs when a warm air mass is lifted over a denser, colder air mass. This lifting can occur in a similar way to orographic lifting, in which an air mass is lifted as it encounters a mountain range. The temperature differences between air masses are important in determining where and how this lifting occurs. Increased pressure typically occurs behind a warm front. Cold fronts meeting cold fronts can lead to the formation of a stationary front, which may not experience as much frontal lifting.
