Frontal lifting:?

Question

A) leads to increased pressure on the warm

front.

B) is not related to temperature differences

between air masses.

C) is most pronounced when a cold front

meets a cold front.

D) can act in a way that is analogous to

orographic lifting.

Answer 1

a) - no, in fact would be just the opposite

b) - no, there is a correlation caused by the lift

c) - no,  cold fronts don't meet cold fronts ( one would be a warm front.

d) - yes,  the slope of a frontal boundary would be akin to going over a mountain slope.

Answer 2

You need to know what 'orographic' means. Then you will understand the question/answer pair.

Air can go up when it meets either a colder air mass - which will go under it since cold air is heavier than warm air - or by going up when the land rises, such as a mountain side - which is Orographic  lifting.

In either case the land or the cold air acts like a wedge to force the warm air up.

:) So, D is the answer
