Consider the following statements about cold pools.
1. They spread as density currents beneath a storm.
2. Their leading edge can lift air and trigger new cells.
3. They warm the surface air beneath the storm.

  • A.1 only
  • B.All of them
  • C.1 and 2 only
  • D.3 only

Answer: C

The first two are correct and describe how convection propagates. The third reverses the sign, since a cold pool is by definition cooler than the air it displaces. That density contrast is what makes it a current at all.
