What type of storm comes when warm air masses and cold air masses collide?
kkk
Why do warm air masses rise and cold air masses sink?
Density. You can figure out the details using the ideal gas law.
How does the atmosphere circulate as air masses?
The atmosphere moves in masses. When two masses collide they are called fronts. When a cold air mass goes into the land occupied by a warm mass it makes a cold front. The opposite makes a warm mass.
Why doesn't a warm air mass under a cold air mass at a warm front?
Warm air is lighter than cold air, that means that warm air will rise and the cold air will sink.
Are warm and cold fronts formed by the movement of different air masses?
true
Are warm air masses lighter than cold air masses?
Warm air masses are lighter than cold air masses because the molecules of cold air move slower than the warm air's molecules.
What kind of density do warm air and cold air masses have?
Cold air is more dense than warm air. This is why cold air masses tend to descend, and warm air masses tend to rise.
What happens in cold and warm air masses?
what happens in cold and warm masses pressure
What kind of density do warm air mass and cold air masses have?
Cold air is more dense than warm air. This is why cold air masses tend to descend, and warm air masses tend to rise.
What happens when warm air masses meet cold air masses?
A warm front forms.
When cold air masses push against warm air masses what is formed?
A cold front.
What does Air masses?
There are two types of air masses: COLD AIR AND WARM AIR.Cold Air Masses-Cold air masses can cause thunderstorms and even tornadoes.Warm Air Masses-Warm air masses can bring many hours of steady rain and snow.
What is the boundary cold and warm air masses?
Front

Do cool air masses flow over warm air masses?
No, as cold air is denser.
