The correct statement that best describes the air behind a cold front is: The air is colder and drier.
The statement that best describes the air behind a cold front is "The air is colder and drier." To determine this, we need to understand the characteristics of a cold front.
A cold front occurs when a mass of cold air replaces a mass of warm air. As the cold front moves in, it pushes the warm air upward, causing it to cool and condense. This condensation leads to the formation of clouds and precipitation along the front.
Behind the cold front, the air mass that is left is the colder air that moved in. This cold air is typically drier because as it moves over land or water, it does not pick up as much moisture. Therefore, it is colder and lacks the moisture that was present in the warm air ahead of the front.
So, the correct answer is "The air is colder and drier."
