Which type of frontal passage is associated with a relatively narrow band of precipitation?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) A cold front.
A cold front is associated with a relatively narrow band of precipitation compared to other frontal types. As a cold front moves through, the colder, denser air mass pushes under the warmer air, causing rapid lift and a concentrated area of precipitation along the leading edge of the front. In contrast, a warm front has a more gradual, widespread ascent of the warm air, leading to a broader precipitation band. A stationary front does not have a defined leading edge, resulting in more scattered precipitation.
