this map shows two air masses located near maputo, mozambique in southern africa. when the advancing maritime polar (mp) air mass meets the continental tropical (ct) air mass, it will push it upward at a steep angle.
what kind of weather is maputo likely to experience as a result of this interaction?
a cooler temperatures, light rain
b cooler temperatures, strong storms
c warmer temperatures, heavy rain
d warmer temperatures, clear skies

Explanation:

Maritime polar (mP) air is cool and moist; continental tropical (cT) air is warm and dry. When mP (denser, cooler) pushes cT upward steeply, rapid lifting of warm air causes quick condensation of moisture from mP, leading to strong storms. Cooler temperatures come from the mP air mass.

Answer:

B. Cooler temperatures, strong storms
