Question

What weather MOST LIKELY results when warm, wet air from the ocean hits cool, dry air over land?

A. decreased wind speeds
B. decreased precitation
C. thunderstorms
D. tsunamis

Answer 1

thunderstorms

Step-by-step explanation:

The collision of warm, moist air from the ocean with cool, dry air over land is a common weather pattern that can result in the formation of thunderstorms. When the two air masses meet, the warm, moist air rises rapidly and cools, condensing into clouds and eventually producing precipitation, such as rain or hail. The instability created by this collision of air masses also results in strong, gusty winds and lightning, which are characteristic of thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are most likely to occur in the late afternoon and evening, when the sun has had time to warm the land and create temperature differences between the two air masses.
