What type of precipitation occurs when a cold air mass encounters and displaces a warm air mass?
Answer:
frontal rain
Frontal rain, also known as cyclonic rain, occurs when two air masses of different temperatures and densities meet. The warmer, lighter air is forced to rise over the colder, denser air mass. As the warm air rises, it cools and condenses, leading to cloud formation and precipitation along the frontal boundary.
