Discussion
Which feature forms downstream of a major mountain range as a result?
Answer: B
Stretching of the column on the lee slope generates cyclonic vorticity, producing the semi-permanent lee troughs east of the Rockies and south of the Alps. These are preferred regions of cyclogenesis for exactly that reason. Adiabatic warming does occur but the vorticity argument dominates the flow pattern, and neither a closed anticyclone nor a front is the characteristic feature.
