Question

A meteorologist predicts that a warm air mass and a cold air mass will meet over your vacation destination. Neither air mass contains enough force to replace the other. What weather should you expect and how will this impact your plans?
A
An occluded front that will cause clouds and precipitation means packing rain gear and trying to avoid the precipitation.

B
A cold front that will bring quick rain, snow, or hail means packing rain gear but hoping not to need it after the front passes.

C
A stationary front that will cause an extended period of clouds or precipitation means packing rain gear and planning for precipitation during your trip.

D
A warm front that may cause a few days of clouds and rain, followed by clear weather means packing rain gear and planning outdoor activities for later in the trip.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C. A stationary front that will cause an extended period of clouds or precipitation means packing rain gear and planning for precipitation during your trip.

Explanation:

The stationary front is a meteorological front on the border of cold and warm air, more common in summer. It is most often the limit of polar and mid-latitude air masses. It usually lasts in place for a maximum of a few days. The stationary front resembles a warm front or a slow cold front. The weather in the stationary front area is variable, often cloudy and often still rainy. In a few days, the stationary front will turn into either a cold or warm front, or its clouds will disintegrate.
