Answer:

The air mass will rise and condensation will occur

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature of a mountain is usually lower than the surrounding low land. In addition, the temperature decreases as altitude increases. The peak of the mountain has the lowest temperature. Thus, if a warm air is in contact with a mountain range, the air mass will rise to the peak of the mountain and become cool which will lead to condensation.
