air masses with different characteristics such as temperature and humidity do not usually mix. so when two different air masses meet a boundary forms between them.

What kind of fronts are involved in tornadoes?
Tornadoes are not a direct product of fronts but rather of thunderstorms. The storms that produce tornadoes most commonly occur along a cold front or dry line, but can be associated with stationary fronts or, less often, warm fronts. Some tornadic storms develop in the absence of any fronts.
Are tornadoes associated with warm fronts?
Generally not. Tornadoes and other severe weather are more often associated with cold fronts.
What do tornadoes form along?
Tornadoes often, though not always, form along weather fronts, where air masses of differing characteristics collide. The fronts that most commonly produce tornadoes are cold fronts and dry lines.
Do fronts move from east to west?
yes you are exactly correct
Do isotherms form along fronts?
Isotherms are a form of contour line to match points with the same temperature and observe rapid changes in temperatures. Fronts are the leading edge of an air mass. Fronts occur along isotherms because of the change in surface temperature, but isotherms are not formed, they are a tool used to analyze surface temperatures.
What causes cold fronts?
Hot air mass
What causes percipitation at fronts?
rising warm air
What causes a cumulonimbus cloud?
What causes a cumulonimbus cloud is the cold and warm fronts that colided.
What causes the Gulf Stream to be warm?
warm air fronts
What causes Waters to move up to the ocean surface?
ocean fronts
What causes precipatation at fronts?
you spelled it wrong its precipitation. your answer is the rising of warm air
What causes cold nutrientrich waters to move up to the oceans surface?
ocean fronts
What weather front causes hurricanes?
None. Hurricanes are tropical systems that are not associated with fronts.
What causes cold nutrientrich waters move up to the ocean's surface?
ocean fronts
How do fronts cause weather to change?
When fronts meet, the cool air undercuts the warm air and causes the warm air to rise and create tornadoes, associated with rain.
What causes your type of severe weather?
It depends on how cold fronts and warm fronts come together in an area. For example: In New Orleans, it is a dense area and warms + cold fronts meet and cause a hurricane. (I don't mean to offend anyone from or anyone who live there.)
Can cold fronts bring violent thunderstorms?
Yes. Thunderstorms are more common along cold fronts, but they can occur with warm fronts as well.
