← GeographyWhich outcome results when an orographic lifting near mountain streams encounters stable air mass conditions?
A)Reduced leeward precipitation shadow forms
B)Increased stream sediment is deposited
C)Enhanced upslope fog formation begins✓
D)Accelerated gradient wind development occurs
💡 Explanation
Enhanced upslope fog formation begins because stable air resists vertical displacement; therefore, condensation occurs near the surface enhancing fog formation, rather than causing widespread precipitation as unsaturated air would through adiabatic cooling.
