70% to passA warm air mass is characterized by _______________.
A
good visibility o
B
instability
C
gusty winds
D
stability
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) stability. A warm air mass is characterized by stability, which means the air is dense and resistant to vertical motion. This results in calm, steady winds and good visibility. In contrast, an unstable air mass (option B) would be characterized by instability, leading to poor visibility and gusty winds (option C). Option A, good visibility, is not a defining characteristic of a warm air mass on its own.
