Question

study the image. at which point is cool air circulating beneath warm air? 1 2 3 4 warm and cold air fronts with points labeled 1 through 4. 1: cold air entering from the left and moving down. 2: clouds with rain. 3: warm air entering from the right and moving up. 4: warm air entering from the top left and moving down toward the clouds.

Explanation:

Cold air is denser than warm air. In a weather system, cold air (which is heavier) will circulate beneath warm air (which is lighter). Looking at the labels:

• Point 1: The description says "cold air entering from the left and moving down". This indicates that cold air is beneath the warm air (as it is moving down - which would be the lower position relative to the rising warm air).
• Point 2: This is just the cloud - rain area.
• Point 3: This is warm air moving up.
• Point 4: This is warm air moving down (but it is warm air, not cold air beneath warm air).
