Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is C) convectional,orographic,and frontal lifting. These are the three principal lifting mechanisms that cause air to rise and cool, leading to cloud formation. Convectional lifting occurs when the sun heats the ground and warm air rises, causing clouds to form. Orographic lifting occurs when air is forced to rise over mountains, causing clouds to form on the windward side. Frontal lifting occurs when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, causing the warm air to rise and form clouds. Option A is incorrect because "condensational lifting" is not a commonly recognized lifting mechanism. Option B is incorrect because "conversational" and "frontal lobotomy" have no relation to cloud formation. Option D is incorrect because "adiabatic," "topographic," and "inversional" are not recognized as the three principal lifting mechanisms.
