The body cannot distinguish between acceleration forces due to gravity and those resulting from maneuvering the aircraft, which can lead to sensory illusions and false impressions of the aircraft's orientation and movement.
Answer C is correct. Multiple Sources,
Weather involves movement of air and changes of state of water. Air movement ultimately can be traced to heating from the sun. Changes of state of water (evaporation, condensation, melting, freezing, and sublimation) all involve adding or releasing heat.

Answer C is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 9
An increase in temperature with altitude is defined as an inversion, i.e. lapse rate is inverted.
Answer A is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 10
A ground based inversion favors poor visibility by trapping fog, smoke, and other restrictions into low levels of the atmosphere.
Answer B is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 20
On a hot day, the air becomes "thinner" or lighter, and its density where you are is equivalent to a higher altitude in the standard atmosphere - thus the term "high density altitude."
Answer B is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 19
Pressure altitude is the altitude in the standard atmosphere where pressure is the same as where you are.
Answer C is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 19
Density altitude simply is the altitude in the standard atmosphere where air density is the same as where you are.
Answer C is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Figure 15
When flying from high pressure to lower pressure without adjusting your altimeter, you are losing true altitude.
Answer A is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Figure 14
When air is colder than average, the altimeter reads higher than true altitude. When air is warmer than standard, the altimeter reads lower than true altitude.
Answer B is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 30
Friction between the wind and the terrain surface slows the wind. As frictional force slows the windspeed, Coriolis force decreases. The stronger pressure gradient force turns the wind at an angle to the isobars toward lower pressure.
Answer C is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 38
Dew point is the temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated by the water vapor already present in the air.
Temperature largely determines the maximum amount of water vapor air can hold.
Answer A is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 40/41
As air becomes saturated, water vapor begins to condense on the nearest available surface. Some condensation nuclei have an affinity for water and can induce condensation or sublimation even when air is almost but not completely saturated.
Evaporation, condensation, sublimation, freezing, and melting are changes of state. Evaporation is the changing of liquid water to invisible water vapor. Condensation is the reverse process. Sublimation is the changing of ice directly to water vapor, or water vapor to ice, bypassing the liquid state in each process.
Answer B is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 41
Frost forms in much the same way as dew. The difference is that the dew point of surrounding air must be colder than freezing. Water vapor then sublimates directly as ice crystals or frost rather than condensing as dew.
Answer A is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 50
Answer A is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 52
If the temperature increases with altitude through a layer - an inversion - the layer is stable and convection is suppressed.
Unstable air favors convection. A "cumulus" cloud, meaning "heap," forms in a convective updraft and builds upward. Thus, within an unstable layer, clouds are cumuliform; and the vertical extent of the cloud depends on the depth of the unstable layer.
Answer B is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Figure 42
Answer B is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 53
The prefix nimbo or the suffix nimbus means raincloud.
For identification purposes, you need be concerned only with the more basic cloud types, which are divided into four "families." The families are: high clouds, middle clouds, low clouds, and clouds with extensive vertical development.

Answer C is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Figure 56
Towering cumulus signifies a relatively deep layer of unstable air. Showers can result from these clouds. Very strong turbulence; some clear icing above the freezing level.
Answer B is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Figure 57
Cumulonimbus are the ultimate manifestation of instability. Nearly the entire spectrum of flying hazards are contained in these clouds including violent turbulence.
Answer A is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 65
Temperature is one of the most easily recognized discontinuities across a front.
Wind always changes across a front. Wind discontinuity may be in direction, in speed, or in both.
The zone between two different air masses is a frontal zone or front.
Answer A is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 83
MOUNTAIN WAVE: When stable air crosses a mountain barrier ... air flowing up the windward side is relatively smooth. Wind flow across the barrier is laminar - that is, it tend to flow in layers. The barrier may set up waves in these layers ... The waves remain nearly stationary while the wind blows rapidly through them. .. The wave pattern may extend 100 miles or more downwind from the barrier.
Wind shear may be associated with either a wind shift or a wind speed gradient at any level in the atmosphere. Three conditions are of special interest - (1) wind shear with a low-level temperature inversion, (2) wind shear in a frontal zone, and (3) clear air turbulence (CAT) at high levels associated with a jet stream or strong circulation.
You can be relatively certain of a shear zone in the inversion if you know the wind at 2,000 to 4,000 feet is 25 knots or more. Allow a margin of airspeed above normal climb or approach speed to alleviate danger of a stall in the event of turbulence or sudden change in wind velocity.
Answer C is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 100
A condition favorable for rapid accumulation of clear icing is freezing rain below a frontal surface. Rain forms above the frontal surface at temperatures warmer than freezing. Subsequently, it falls through air at temperatures below freezing and becomes supercooled. The supercooled drops freeze on impact with an aircraft surface.

Upslope fog forms as a result of moist, stable air being cooled adiabatically as it moves up sloping terrain. Once the upslope wind ceases, the fog dissipates.
Answer C is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 153
Steam fog, often called "sea smoke," forms in winter when cold, dry air passes from land areas over comparatively warm ocean waters. Low level turbulence can occur and icing can become hazardous.
Answer A is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 195
Wind blowing toward hills or ridges flows upward, over, and around the abrupt rises in terrain. The upward moving air creates lift which is sometimes excellent for soaring.
Answer C is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 173
Since thermals depend on solar heating, thermal soaring is restricted virtually to daylight hours with considerable sunshine.
Answer B is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 180
Thermal streeting may occur either in clear air or with convective clouds... A pilot can soar under a cloud street maintaining generally continuous flight and seldom, if ever, have to circle.
Answer B is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 178
When heating is slow or intermittent, a "bubble" may be pinched off and forced upward; after an interval ranging from a few minutes to an hour or more, another bubble forms and rises... Birds may be climbing in a bubble, but an aircraft attempting to enter the thermal at a lower altitude may find no lift.
Answer B is correct. AC 00-6 Aviation Weather, Page 175
Cumulus clouds are positive signs of thermals, but thermals grow and die... The warmest and most rapidly rising air is in the center of the thermal. Therefore, the cloud base will be highest in the center giving a concave shape to the cloud base.
Always approach the whirling vortex at an altitude 500 feet or more above the ground... Circle on the outside of the dust devil against the direction of rotation.
Surface winds must converge to feed a rising thermal; so when you sight a likely spot for a thermal, look for dust or smoke movement near the surface. If you can see dust or smoke "streamers" from two or more sources converging on the spot, you have chosen wisely.
If a rocky knob protrudes above a grassy plain, the most likely area of thermals is over the eastern slope in the forenoon and over the western slope in the afternoon.
