What happens when a warm air mass meets with a cold air mass?
If you mean when a mass of cold air meets a mass of warm air, then a front is created.
What is heavier a warm front or a cold front?
A warm front is generally heavier than a cold front due to the warm air being less dense than cold air. Warm air rises over cold air at a warm front, creating a less steep slope as compared to the lifting of cold air at a cold front.
In regards to weather what does a cold front mean?
A cold front means the leading of a cold atmospheric air mas moving against and taking over a warm air mass, creating a cold front. The cold air replaces the warm air due to the cold air having a higher density then the warm air.
What front will occur when warm air pushes over cold air?
When warm air pushes into cold air the result is a warm front.
Describe the four major types of fronts?
1) Warm front - warm air mass replacing a cold air mass at ground level. Typically shifts wind southeasterly to southwesterly. 2) Cold front - Cold air replacing warm air at ground level. Tyoically shifts southwesterly to northwesterly 3) Stationary front - Equal amount of energy between warm and cold air masses creating a "stalemate".
When a cold front manages to take over a warm front it is called?
When a cold front overtakes a warm front, it is known as an occluded front. This occurs when the cold air behind the cold front catches up with the warm air ahead of the warm front, forcing the warm air upward.
What is a warm front and a cold front called?
warmer than a cold front and colder than a cold front
Is the air behind a warm front colder or wamer than the front?
The air behind a warm front is typically colder than the warm air associated with the front itself. A warm front occurs when warm air rises over colder air, leading to a gradual increase in temperature as the front passes. Once the warm front has moved through, the air that follows is usually cooler, as it comes from a different region that is generally at a lower temperature.
What front is created when warm air and cold air collide?
That depends. If the cold air pushes into the warm air, moving it out of the way it is called a cold front. If the cold air retreats with warm air coming in to to replace it, the front is a warm front. if the two air masses come together along a boundary that does not move the result is a stationary front.
Why can a cold front push a warm front?
Cold air is denser than warm air. Which allows it to slide under that warm air and displace it.
What happens when a warm front moves into a cold front?
When a warm front moves into a cold front, the warm air gradually rises over the denser cold air. This can lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation. The warm air displaces the cold air, leading to a gradual increase in temperature and humidity.
What kind of front is a warm air mass caught between two cooler air masses?
A warm front is a type of front where a warm air mass is caught between two cooler air masses. The warm air rises over the cooler air, creating clouds and precipitation.
