Fronts form because?
Fronts form in the weather because of convection. There is a boundary created from two air masses of different masses.
What do meteorologists show using weather maps?
They show fronts, which are wind gusted air masses that change weather.
What are fronts in weather?
when two air masses of opposing temperatures collide. usually this forms precipitation.
Is it possible to not have a weather front?
Yes. Weather fronts are simply boundaries between air masses. If you are near the center of an air mass, there are no fronts in your area. Additionally, fronts are most prevalent in the middle latitudes and are fairly uncommon in the tropics.
How are changes in weather are caused by the interaction of air masses?
Fronts do not often occur near the Equator because air masses there do not have big teperature
How is a front formed?
A weather front typically forms when both warm and cool air meet. Both the difference in air temperature, as well as the density of the air, can cause a front. Warm fronts are more slow moving than cold fronts and usually produce precipitation. Fronts are depicted on weather maps with arrows showing where the front has come from and what direction the front is moving.
What do tornadoes form along?
Tornadoes often, though not always, form along weather fronts, where air masses of differing characteristics collide. The fronts that most commonly produce tornadoes are cold fronts and dry lines.
What happens when air masses meet fronts?
when two air masses meets at fronts,cyclonic rain occurs.
Are cold air masses lighter the warm air masses or the same?
cold fronts are heavier than warm fronts
What type of weather forms when two air masses push against each other without moving?
Rainy weather that may persist for several days, it is caused by a stationary front.
Where do weather fronts occur?
in between or around or near air masss or where they meet.
Meteorologists often talk about warm fronts and cold fronts and how they contribute to various weather conditions like storms. What is a front?
boundary between two air masses of different temperatures and/or humidity levels
