Question

Lake effect snow storms are unique weather patterns that occur in only three places in the world: the Great Lakes, Hudson Bay's eastern shore, and the west coasts of two Japanese islands. Lake effect snowstorms occur under very specific conditions.
1. As cold air streams across warm lakes, it becomes warmer and more humid, causing it to become less dense and then rise.
2. As the air rises, it cools, sometimes forming clouds causing precipitation; as the air keeps moving over the lake, more moisture is drawn upward to form more clouds.
3. ?

Which statement best summarizes the final step in lake effect snow formation?


A) From the opposite side of the lake, warm air will stream across the lake toward the convective cloud; when it reaches the cloud, the air cools and snow falls.

B) These convective clouds cannot hold the large amount of evaporated water, so when the air moves over land, the moisture condenses to snow, causing the "lake effect snow."
C) Clouds continue to grow larger as more water is evaporated from the lake, causing them to become still over the lake; snow falls when the air in the clouds become too cold.
Eliminate

D) Large amounts of rain will fall from this convective cloud, causing the air temperature above the lake to drop; rain condenses to snow in the cooler air, causing the "lake effect snow."


i couldn't pick science for the subject so, i just chose biology

Answer 1

That happens everywhere, and is how rain forms.

Answer 2

The answer is B) These convective clouds cannot hold the large amount of evaporated water, so when the air moves over land, the moisture condenses to snow, causing the "lake effect snow."

I live in a location where this happens all the time. Hope this helps! :)
