Consider the following statements regarding ‘fronts’ :

  1. The movement of a front causes a slow change in weather in the area over which it moves.

  2. Cold fronts are associated with thunderstorms.

  3. Warm front is the boundary between an advancing mass of warm air where it is overriding and rising above a mass of colder air.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

  1. (a) 1 only
  2. (b) 1 and 2 only
  3. (c) 2 and 3 onlyCorrect answer
  4. (d) 1, 2 and 3

Solution.

Answer: (c) 2 and 3 only

  1. A passing front can cause rapid weather changes, so the blanket claim of a slow change is false.
  2. Cold fronts can force vigorous uplift and thunderstorms.
  3. At a warm front, advancing warm air rises over colder air.
  4. Thus statements 2 and 3 are correct.
