As a warm moist air mass moving northward collides with a strong cold air mass moving southward, what observations will most likely be made?
A
Clouds begin to form.
B
Thick fog develops.
C
Winds die down.
D
Temperatures increase.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sun.As a warm moist air mass is moving northward collides with a strong cold air mass moving southward, what observations will most likely be made? Clouds begin to form.

Detailed explanation-2: -On the other hand, when a cold air mass catches up with a warm air mass, the cold air slides under the warm air and pushes it upward. As it rises, the warm air cools rapidly. This configuration, called a cold front, gives rise to cumulonimbus clouds, often associated with heavy precipitation and storms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cold air is more dense than warm air, so when a warm air mass meets a cold air mass, the cold air ends up below the warm air. Once the air has risen, it cools and clouds can form. Weather fronts can cause clouds to form. Fronts occur when two large masses of air collide at the Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cold Fronts: Forms when a cold air mass pushes under a warm air mass, forcing the warm air to rise. Weather they bring: Clouds called thunderheads can form as the moisture rises, cools & condenses. A brief thunderstorm may occur with heavy rain, gusty winds, thunder, lightning, hail followed by cool, fair weather.

Detailed explanation-5: -The warm air rises gradually over the cold air as they meet. As the warm air rises it cools and condenses to form clouds. Rain falls along the front as long periods of drizzle or steady rain.
