Weather maps use half circles or triangles to show what?

Circles=Warm fronts Triangles=Cold fronts Fronts=where two air masses meet air mass=large region of air that has similar temperatures and humidity throughout


How does a slow-moving cold front differ from a fast-moving cold front?

A slow moving front is relatively like a stationary front, bringing rain for quite a while as the front approaches, then when the front passes, it will bring cold weather for a longer period of time because the front will be around for a longer period of time. A fast moving front will bring cold for a shorter period of time and less rain as the front approaches. These are the simple effects of what will happen.


How can you tell the kind of kind of front passing by just observing the weather?

There are several different types of fronts, a warm front and a cold front. What these fronts do mainly is effect the temperature, the one that normally brings the rain is the cold front, because the cold air is colliding with the warm air already in place. When a cold front passes over, it lowers the temperature, here's a picture of what this front looks like on a weather map: When a warm front passes over, it warms the temperature, but when a cold front comes through right after that, it can spark some severe weather, here's a picture on what this front looks like on a weather map:


What happens when a warm front moves into a cold front?

warm front rises on top of the cold front.
