B. Occluded fronts cause warm air to feel dry, while cold fronts cause ground temperatures to feel cooler.

C. Warm air moves slowly during an occluded front, while cold air is cut off from the ground in a cold front.

D. Occluded fronts cause rapid changes in weather conditions, while cold fronts cause widespread cloud formation.

Respuesta :

Answer: Option (D)

Explanation: In case of an occluded front, the warm front is totally replaced by the cold front, in which the warm air masses are completely vanished. And due to the relatively cold temperature of the cold front, there occurs frequent changes in the different weather forming conditions.

                         Whereas, in case of a cold front, the cold air masses becomes much mobile and enters the region of warm air and due to its higher density it generally remains in contact with the ground surface and also pushes the warm air to rise up. Due to this, often a variety of clouds are formed resulting thick clouds, thunderstorms and lightening.

Answer:

D. Occluded fronts cause rapid changes in weather conditions, while cold fronts cause widespread cloud formation.
