How do warm fronts differ from cold fronts?

Answer 1

Cold fronts are defined by cold air advancing, sliding under and displacing warmer air - they are steeper and move more quickly.

Warm air cannot displace cold air easily because it is less dense. Therefore, it rides up and over it, producing stratus and nimbostratus clouds where light precipitation falls.
the boundary of an advancing mass of warm air, in particular the leading edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.

Answer 2

Type your answer here... cold fronts and warm fronts are same because they are both fronts, have temperatures, and they affect each other. cold fronts have cold temperatures and they it goes down and warm fronts have warm temperatures

Answer 3

Fronts are simply weather changes. Warm fronts and cold fronts can vary in speed depending on many factors. One front is not always faster or slower then another.

The speed is dependent on other fronts position, as well as prevailing winds and their speed.... and many other factors. That is why even the weather people have no idea what tomorrow will bring. the weather people can predict what can happen tomorrow

Answer 4

The correct answer!!, for : The difference between a cold front and a warm front.*WARM FRONT

-Warm air mass meets & rises above cold air mass.

-Slow, Steady rain.

-Hot, humid weather follows

-More gentle slope

*COLD FRONT

-Cold air mass overtakes & pushes under warm air mass

-Heavy rains, and violent thunderstorms

-Fair, cool weather follows

-Steeper slope

Answer 5

In a warm front, the cooler air mass retreats while a warm one advances. When a warm front passes through, the weather gets warmer. Warm fronts are often associated with rain or snow showers depending on the season, but typically do not bring thunderstorms.

In a cold front, a cooler air mass advances and forces the wamer air mass upward. When a cold front passes through, the weather gets cooler. Cold fronts often bring heavy snowfall in the winter and heavy showers and thunderstorms in the summer.

Answer 6

a cold front happens when a cold air mass shoves through a warm air mass. they bring violent stormy weather. a warm front happens when a warm air mass goes over a cold one. they bring light rain or cloudy weather.

Answer 7

a warm front is where warm air moves over cold, denser air, and normally replaces the cold air. But, a cold front is where cold air moves under warm air. Cold fronts can bring thunderstorms, heavy rain, snow, and cooler weather. A warm front brings drizzly rain, and warm and clear weather.

Answer 8

Fronts are where a different temperature airmass is moving through your area. If it's warmer than the previous air, then it's a warm front and may not be all that warm, but warmer than it is now. When colder air is moving through, the air will become unstable with the cold front passage. This may form puffy clouds and provide showery or turbulent storms, while a warm front stabilizes the atmosphere and you may see steady rain and cloudy overcast skies. The amount of temperature change and amount of moisture present makes all the difference in the severity of weather associated with passage. A good example is a cold front composed of dry very cold air from Canada moving south and colliding with warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. That's a recipe for severe thunderstorms.

Answer 9

A cold front is advancing cold air and retreating warm air and a warm front is advancing warm air and retreating cold air
