Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Convergent lifting results when air flows toward an area of low pressure. Common in equatorial regions.
Convectional lifting happens when air is stimulated by local surface heating. Occurs where air from maritime sources passes over warmed land surface or even in urban heat islands.
Orographic lifting occurs when air is forced over a barrier such as a mountain range. Occurs in areas with large topographic relief.
Frontal lifting occurs as air is displaced upward along the leading edges of contrasting air masses. Occurs where air masses meet.
