What else can I help you with?
Why do cold fronts push into warm front and go under the warm front?
Cold air is more dense than warm air and therefore heavier
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 is cool air under warm air called?
It's called a warm front.
What direction does a cold front go when it moves into a warm front?
When a cold front moves into a warm front, it typically undercuts the warm front and forces it aloft, resulting in the warm front being lifted off the ground. This process can lead to the formation of a stationary front or occluded front.
What is a warm air mass advancing under a cold air mass called?
A warm air mass advancing under a cold air mass is called an occluded front. This occurs when a fast-moving cold front catches up to a slow-moving warm front, lifting the warm air off the ground. The mixing of air masses can lead to cloud formation and precipitation.
What is the name of the front when cold air moves under warm moist air?
The front you are referring to is called a cold front. Cold air is denser than warm air, so when a mass of cold air moves underneath warm, moist air, it lifts the warm air rapidly, leading to the formation of clouds and potentially precipitation.
When precipitation occurs out ahead of an advancing front it is typically this type of front?
This is typically a cold front. As the cold air mass moves under the warm air mass, it pushes the warm air upwards, where it condensates and creates precipitation.
What happen in a cold front?
A cold air mass comes in under a warm air mass.
What forms when a cold air mass moves under a warm air mass?
a cold front
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.
Does cold are go under or above warm air?
Warm air close to the ground rises and becomes cooler.
What is the difference between an ordinary front and an occluded front?
An occluded front is a cold front that is moving faster than a warm front. The cold front soon "catches up" to the warm warm and they merge together.
