E) sinking air aloft.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Along the polar front, one would not expect to observe sinking air aloft. The polar front is a zone of convergence between cold polar air and warm subtropical air, which leads to the lifting of warm air and the formation of clouds and precipitation. This lifting of warm air also leads to the formation of an elongated region of lower pressure, and the convergence of surface air towards this region. However, sinking air aloft would be more commonly observed in areas of high pressure rather than along the polar front. Therefore, option E is the correct answer.
