Question
Less dense air flowing over more dense air is the process of lift from:
A. Orographic lifting
B. Convergence
C. Convective lifting
D. Frontal wedging
E. None of the above
Please explain……………………………………………
It would be D right since frontal lifting also known as frontal wedging because denser air acts as a barrier or it can be E because only frontal weding is the only option but cooler air is dense and it act as a barrier against the warmer air, which is less dense. Therefore less sense air is not flowing over more dense air. I hope I am making sense right now with my answer. I just know its between D and E and I need some help. Thank you.
Explanation / Answer
Option D is correct.
Frontal Wedging is the process by which cold dense air acts similarly to mountain barrier forcing warmer, lens dense air to rise over it.
