Question

When a shore parallel band is forming in the center of a lake, what process is happening at the surface over the center of the lake?
a) convergence
b) sinking air
c) sublimation
d) divergence

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A. When a shore parallel band is forming in the center of a lake, convergence is happening at the surface over the center of the lake.

Shore-Parallel Bands form when winds are light and heat from the lake causes rising air, drawing in air from both sides and forming one long band of lake effect snow; areas beneath such a band can receive enormous amounts of snow, while regions only a few miles away will receive very little, if any, snow.

Air is forced upward when it crosses the downwind shoreline due to friction with the earth surface, which slows down the wind and causes convergence close to the beach. The snowiest areas are those closest to and inside this convergence zone.
