Question

above a continent, a warm air mass slowly passes over a cold air mass. as the warm air begins to cool, clouds form. what will likely happen next?

• rain will fall
• hurricanes will form
• lightning will strike
• hail will form

Explanation:

When warm air passes over a cold air mass (a warm front scenario, though here it's warm air moving over cold, but the cooling of warm air leads to condensation). As warm air cools, its capacity to hold moisture decreases, so water vapor condenses into clouds, and then precipitation (like rain) forms. Hurricanes require specific tropical conditions, lightning is part of thunderstorms (more intense uplift), and hail is in strong thunderstorms with updrafts. A slow warm - over - cold situation leads to gradual condensation and rain.

Answer:

A. rain will fall
