B. Cold and humid
C. Warm and dry
D. Warm and humid
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Tropical maritime air masses are warm and humid, originating over warm tropical oceans. They bring warm, moist, and often unstable weather, leading to convection and precipitation.
Explanation:
The mild, wet winters of a Mediterranean climate are caused by the southward shift of the polar front and mid-latitude cyclones, bringing westerly winds and precipitation.
Explanation:
San Francisco experiences advection fog when warm, moist air from the Pacific moves over the cold California Current, cooling and condensing to form fog.
