Air masses of different pressures and temperature move around the Earth. The cold air masses that form at the poles move toward the equator, while the warm air masses that form at the equator move toward the poles.

Boundary between air masses of different temperatures?
A "front" is the interface between two air masses of different temperature.
What is the difference between pressure and fronts?
Pressure is the amount of air in one location which varies depending on temperature and other factors. You get high pressure when the air falls and low pressure when the air rises. However,there are different temperatures of air at lower levels of the atmosphere and where these air "masses" as they are called meet, you get a weather front. They do affect each other - low pressure systems (depressions) have different air masses entangled into it and therefore there are fronts in low pressures. Depressions also generally move around and between high pressures (anticyclones) and so high pressures do not move around as much as depressions. Pressure and fronts are often shown on the same weather image and the lines are called isobars which are lines of equal pressure. A front is where two air masses meet. Pressure is the amount of air.

When the sun heats earth air masses all over the earth are created These air masses are different temperatures because?
parts of the world are closer to the sun causing warmer temperatures and the further away from the sun is when they are cooler.
Air masses of different temp.s hit?
Air masses have unequal or different temperatures because of the kind of material that compose the Earth's surface, angle of sun's rays, which is due to the shape of the Earth, and the length of daytime, which is due to the tilting of the earth's axis as it revolves around the sun.

What type of cloud might produce the most intense precipitation and why?
could may also from when air masses of different temperatures collide.
Two vast areas of air have different temperatures and pressures but within the regions the temperatures and pressures are similar. The line where these regions are colliding is called a(n)?
Air masses or weather front is when two regions of air are colliding and they have different temperatures and pressures are similar.
What are two causes of wind?
Differences of atmospheric pressures or differences of temperatures of adjacent air masses.
How do different air pressures in two different air masses cause dramatic changes in weather patterns?
.
The boundary where are masses of different temperatures of moisture meet and do not mix?
a front
Boundary between air masses of different temperatures?
A "front" is the interface between two air masses of different temperature.
What front involves three air masses of different temperatures?
An occluded weather front.
The boundary between air masses with different temperatures is called a?
Such a boundary is called a front.
Is a large region of atmosphere where the air has similar temperature and humidity throughout?
Air masses are two vast areas of air which have different temperatures and pressures but within the regions the temperatures and pressures are similar.
