← GeographyWhich outcome results because the pressure thresholds of large lakes induce localized precipitation?
A)Orogenic rainfall increase leeward slopes
B)Convective lifting creates lake breezes✓
C)Radiative divergence creates offshore winds
D)Evaporation deficits accelerate thermohaline circulation
💡 Explanation
Convective lifting leads to lake breezes as warmer land surface raises moisture saturated air, because differences in air pressure trigger upward air motion; therefore lake breezes form, rather than forced ascent driven by topography.
