- Q15The image shows the movement of cold and warm air masses near a region labeled X. The movement of these air masses results in precipitation in the region. Which answer correctly states the sequence of events between the air masses and the occurrence of precipitation?warm air mass moves over cold air mass, a warm front forms at the boundary, rain occurs and warm temperatures persistcold air mass moves over warm air mass, a warm front occurs at the boundary of the two air masses, precipitation occurs with cooler temperatures.a cold front occurs at the boundary of the two air masses, cold air mass moves over the warm air mass, thunderstorms and cold temperatures persistcold air mass moves under the warm air mass, a cold front forms at the boundary, rain occurs and cold temperatures persists30s
