How do you tell when thunder is coming?
Thunder storms occur when hot air and cold air run into each other. Therefore one way of predicting them is if you notice a cold front has come during warm weather, or a warm front during cold weather.
How can you tell how many weather fronts are on a map?
A stationary front is represented by two fronts; a cold front and a warm front. In case you don't know or remember, a warm front is represented by red half-circles. A cold front is represented by blue triangles. They will be very close to each other.
Is as cold as ice an idiom?
No, "As ____ as ____" is always the formula for a simile, a comparison of two thing to each other.
How is a front defined in terms of weather?
In meteorology, a front is a boundary between two air masses, which can't mix each other due to their properties like their temperature, their pressure and their relative humidity. A front is associated with a low pressure system, a system where the atmospheric pressure is lower than the surrounding areas. There are several types of fronts, which have different properties in the cloud and precipitation formation such as the warm fronts, the cold fronts, the stationary fronts, the occluded fronts and some others. A warm front is a type of meteorological front where the warm air mass comes up on the cold air mass. The warm, light and dilated air goes over the cold, heavy and dense air. The warm front is associated with covered weather and sometimes rainy, usually with high clouds such as cirrus which will become nimbostratus or altostratus. A warm front is associated with warm, cloudy weather (sometimes moderated rainy) and with an atmospheric pressure decreasing progressively. A cold front is a type of meteorological front where the cold air mass comes down under the warm air mass. The cold, heavy and dense air goes under the warm, light and dilated air. The cold front is generally associated with cirrocumulus and altocumulus and the clouds are rarely high in the sky. Behing a cold front, there is clear skies and sunny weather because there is usually a high pressure system behind a cold front. But clear skies also follow warm fronts. Cold fronts tend to move faster than warm fronts because the cold air is denser than the warm air and is harder to move. Globally, all the fronts are associated by a change in the weather, which is more brutal in cold fronts than in warm fronts.
What causes the warm air to rise and the cold air to sink?
The warmer the air is, the more energy the molecules have. The more energy the molecules have, the more they vibrate. When the molecules vibrate, they bounce into each other and push apart from each other, hence the warmer the air is, the less dense it is (number of molecules per unit volume). Colder air has less energy which means more molecules can fit into one space because they are not bouncing off each other.
What type of front occurs when warm air and cold air are next to each other but are at standstill?
A stationary front
When does a cold front occur?
A cold front occurs when a cold air and a cold air mass hits each other and the warm air rises
When a cold front and warm front meet and cannot push each other away a ---------- front forms?
Stationary
When forms when cold and warm air cannot overtake each other?
Occluded front
How do tornadoea start?
tornadoes start when a warm front and a cold front pass each other and form a funnel cloud.
What is the weather pattern called when cold and warm cannot overtake each other?
Stationary Front
What is front in science?
It is when two air masses meet. For example, Warm air rises and condenses into clouds when a warm front and a cold front bumps into each other.
When a warm air mass and a cold air mass stall to each other what is that called?
A stationery front. A cold front is where cold air gains over warm air. Warm front is where warm air gains over cold air. An Occluded front is where warm air is pushed up and cold aair over takes at lower levels.
When a warm air mass and a cold air mass stall next to each other its called what?
A stationary front.
When a warm air mass and a cold air mass stall next to each other its called a what?
A stationary front.
Fronts that occur when cold warm and cool fronts conflict?
When a cold front and a cold air mass hit each other and cause a warm air mass to rise up between them, it's called an occluded front. But I've never heard of a cool front, just cold fronts.
When a warm air mass and cold air mass stall next to each other it's called a what?
A stationary front.
