How are fronts described?

Strictly speaking, a Typeface describes a family of fonts of different sizes and other characteristics such as italic or bold.

For example Georgia Typeface at 10 point has quite readable characters. It could be Bold or Italic, and this typeface uses Old Style Numbers, in which the number characters are of different sizes to aid readability.

Readability of script is further enhanced by spacing the lines at (say) 1.5 line spacing. Most hardback books use this style of presentation.

[A major PC operating system incorrectly uses 'font' when they mean 'typeface', and due to the widespread use of this programme, the error is widely mis-used.]

Please help by using proper descriptors.

What kind of fronts are in a tornado?

There are not fronts in a tornado. However, the thunderstorms that produce tornadoes are most often found ahead of clod fronts. Dry lines are also common producers of tornadoes. Warm fronts and stationary fronts less often. Some tornadoes form from storms not associated with any fronts.

What fronts are in a tornado?

Fronts do not occur in tornadoes, though they can play a role in tornado formation. Depending on condtions fronts can trigger thunderstorms which, in turn, sometimes produce tornadoes. Cold fronts produce a fair percentage of tornadoes in the U.S. as do dry lines. More rarely they can form along a warm front. Some tornadoes ocurrin storms that develop without a front.

Is a warm front mass of warm air that moves into a region that has cooler air?

Jump to: navigation, searchApproaching weather fronts are often visible from the ground, but are not always as well defined as thisA weather front is a boundary separating two masses of air of different densities, and is the principal cause of meteorological phenomena. In surface weather analyses, fronts are depicted using various colored lines and symbols, depending on the type of front. The air masses separated by a front usually differ in temperature and humidity. Cold fronts may feature narrow bands of thunderstorms and severe weather, and may on occasion be preceded by squall lines or dry lines. Warm fronts are usually preceded by stratiform precipitation and fog. The weather usually clears quickly after a front's passage. Some fronts produce no precipitation and little cloudiness, although there is invariably a wind shift.[1]Cold fronts and occluded fronts generally move from west to east, while warm fronts move poleward. Because of the greater density of air in their wake, cold fronts and cold occlusions move faster than warm fronts and warm occlusions. Mountains and warm bodies of water can slow the movement of fronts.[2] When a front becomes stationary, and the density contrast across the frontal boundary vanishes, the front can degenerate into a line which separates regions of differing wind velocity, known as a shearline. This is most common over the open ocean.hope it helps!!!!
