Answer to Question 1

Boom Correct answer

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The gradual rise of air means an extended period for the generation of different types of precipitation. In a warm front, less-dense warm air gradually rides up and over colder, denser air producing widespread cloudiness and precipitation way before the actual front. In many respects, a warm front is like a temperature inversion. As the front advances rain or snow develops, and as winds become brisk, the rain or snow changes to freezing rain. At the front, the air gradually warms, and the rain or snow turns to drizzle. Behind the front, the air is warm and the clouds scatter. Change occurs as the air temperature climbs.
