Which of the following is an example of lifting due to air rising as a result of being stimulated by local surface heating?
A)Convergent.
B)Convectional.
C)Orographic.
D)Frontal.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Convectional lifting is caused by local surface heating, which causes the air to rise. This results in the formation of cumulus clouds and can lead to thunderstorms in extreme cases. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Convergent lifting is caused by the convergence of air masses, or when two air masses with different properties meet and are forced upwards. Orographic lifting occurs when air is forced upwards as it encounters mountains or other topographic features. Frontal lifting occurs when a cold air mass meets a warm air mass, and the warm air is lifted over the cold air. None of these options match the type of lifting described in the question.
