If the question has a related picture, it will appear here.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Weather fronts and how they form • Interaction between cold fronts and warm fronts • How low-pressure systems organize different types of fronts

💭 Think About

• Think about what physically has to happen for one air mass to be lifted completely off the ground by another. • Ask yourself: in typical weather charts, where do occluded fronts appear in relation to lows, cold fronts, and warm fronts? • Consider which option describes a process between fronts, not just a general pressure condition.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice describes two different fronts interacting. • Decide which type of air mass (cold or warm) would tend to underrun and lift the other. • Verify that an occlusion involves the warm air being lifted aloft, no longer in contact with the surface.
