- Yes,because a warm air mass,and a cool air mass mix together when they meet at fronts.

∙ 9y agoAir masses do not mix easily because they create bags or barriers that cannot mix. When they meet, it creates an updraft resulting in either a cold or warm front.

Where are clouds most likely to form?
Rainy unsettled weather forms when two air fronts meet each other. One air front is usually cold air and the other has warmer air. When these air masses meet head on it is likely there will be a thunderstorm.
What are the 4 steps that clouds form?
Clouds can form in one of four ways: mountains, the rise of air masses, cold or warm weather fronts, and surface heating. Cumulus clouds form by surface heating or mountains, status forms by weather fronts, and all types can form by the rising of air masses.
Scientists classify air masses according to?
In addition to their overall temperature air masses are classified according to the surface over which they form. continental air masses form over land, and are likely to be dry. Maritime air masses form over water and are humid. Polar air masses form at high altitudes and are cold. Tropical air masses form at low latitudes and are warm
Which type of air mass brings cool humid weather to the West Coast of the United states?
Maritime tropical air masses, Maritime polar air masses, Continental polar air masses, or Continental tropical air masses.
What is produced when two air masses collide?
when two air masses collide it will produce weather changes such as wind, clouds, rain , snow, or tornadoes
What causes fronts?
air masses with different characteristics such as temperature and humidity do not usually mix. so when two different air masses meet a boundary forms between them.
What happens when air masses meet fronts?
when two air masses meets at fronts,cyclonic rain occurs.
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.
Are cold air masses lighter the warm air masses or the same?
cold fronts are heavier than warm fronts
Air masses are known as?
fronts
How are fronts and air masses related?
They are both boundaries that occur most often between a front and an air mass.
How do front form?
When one air mass bump into one another, the air masses usually doe not mix because the properties of the air masses are different. A front forms between the two air masses. Stormy weather often occurs along fronts.
How does unequal heating of earth affect the movement of air masses?
Unequal heating cause air masses to form fronts. Fronts are masses that contain air that is all the same temperature and at the same altitude.
Fronts form because?
Fronts form in the weather because of convection. There is a boundary created from two air masses of different masses.
Air masses bend at boundaries to form?
Fronts
Do air masses ever mix together?
yes,Air masses mix together
Where do weather fronts occur?
in between or around or near air masss or where they meet.
