← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when rapid differential heating amplifies the thermal effect within a stationary air mass?
A)Localized convective thunderstorm development✓
B)Downdraft-driven katabatic wind formation
C)Stratiform cloud layer stabilization
D)Large-scale baroclinic cyclone genesis
💡 Explanation
Localized convective thunderstorms develop because thermal effect intensifies density differences, triggering strong updrafts; therefore, storm clouds rapidly form, rather than the stable layers or widespread circulations caused by other atmospheric mechanisms.
