Question 1271Navigation General
70% to passAs it approaches, a typical warm front will bring _______________.
A
falling temperatures and rising pressure
B
rising barometric pressure and temperatures
C
rising temperatures and falling barometric pressure
D
falling temperature and pressure
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) rising temperatures and falling barometric pressure. As a warm front approaches, it brings warmer air that causes temperatures to rise. The rising warm air also leads to a drop in barometric pressure. This is in contrast to a cold front, which brings falling temperatures and rising pressure. The other options are incorrect because A) describes a cold front, B) describes high pressure conditions not associated with a warm front, and D) describes a low pressure system, which is the opposite of what happens with a warm front.
