Question 750Navigation General70% to pass
You can expect frontal activity when two air masses collide and _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) there are significant differences between the temperature of each air mass.
When two air masses with significantly different temperatures collide, it creates a frontal system. The temperature difference between the air masses causes pressure differences, which leads to the formation of a front. This frontal activity can result in weather changes, such as precipitation, wind shifts, and temperature changes. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the conditions necessary for frontal activity to occur.
