When upper-level divergence of air above a surface low pressure area is stronger than the convergence of surface air, the surface pressure will and the storm itself will a. increase, intensify b. increase, dissipate c. decrease, intensify d. decrease, dissipate

When upper-level divergence of air above a surface low pressure area is stronger than the convergence of surface air, the surface pressure will decrease and the storm itself will intensify.

Explanation:

Above the surface concentration of air is lower spreads out and gets diverged . This makes converging surface air to get rise and flow to top of the air column below the tropopause, which acts as a constraint for the vertical motions.

When the upper-level divergence is more than the surface convergence , Hence ,

more amount of air is taken out at top than which is brought in at bottom , and the  surface pressure decreases and the storm intensifies .

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (southeast
