Question

The weather map shown in the image forecasts the weather over a region. What causes the weather conditions shown in the map?

A) a warm air mass being pushed away by a colder air mass, resulting in a cold front
B) a warm air mass pushing a cold air mass out of its way, resulting in a warm front
C) a cold air mass rapidly overtaking a warm air mass, resulting in an occluded front
Eliminate
D) a cold air mass meeting a warm air mass, forming a stationary front over the region

Answer 1

D I believe is the answer

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) a cold air mass meeting a warm air mass, forming a stationary front over the region.

The weather map shown in the image forecasts the weather over a region. What causes the weather conditions shown in the map is "a cold air mass meeting a warm air mass, forming a stationary front over the region."

In Wheater terminology, a stationary front forms when to air masses collapse and none of those air masses has more power to advance over the other. It could be that warm or cold front slows down below the six miles per hour to create this stationary front. This front could cause many different weather conditions, depending on the humidity or the dryness.
