70% to passWhich condition will occur after a cold front passes?
A
Humidity decreases
B
Pressure decreases
C
Temperature rises
D
Stratus clouds form
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Humidity decreases after a cold front passes. When a cold front moves through an area, it brings drier, cooler air that replaces the warm, moist air ahead of the front. This leads to a decrease in humidity as the colder, drier air mass takes over. The other options are incorrect - pressure typically increases after a cold front passes, temperature drops rather than rises, and stratus clouds may form ahead of the front as warm, moist air is pushed upward, but not necessarily after the front has passed.
