← GeographyWhich consequence results when thermal atmospheric currents meet high mountains?
A)Orographic lift induces precipitation✓
B)Adiabatic cooling minimizes condensation
C)Solar irradiance maximizes cloud formation
D)Latent heat fluxes induce calm winds
💡 Explanation
Orographic lift occurs because a mountain forces air to rise, leading to adiabatic cooling; therefore, water vapor condenses into precipitation rather than remaining as vapor, because cooling air reduces liquid water saturation concentration.
