What is a weather map symbol for a stationary front?
A stationary front symbol looks like it is alternating between a warm front and cold front facing in opposite directions. See the link below for an image.
What happens when a warm front moves into a cold front?
warm front rises on top of the cold front.
When a rapidly moving cold air mass runs into a slow moving warm air mass what is the result?
A cold front is formed. Yes a cold front is formed, but this could also come to mean that a cold front overtakes a warm front which means a new front would be formed called an occluded front.
What is heavier a warm front or a cold front?
It depends on if you mean heavy rain or light rain. If you mean heavy rain then when a cold air mass rises over a warm air mas. If you mean light rain then when a warm air mass rises over a warm air mass.
What does this symbol indicate on a weather map when it have three triangles?
They stand for an approaching storm front. If I remember correctly, a red line means a warm front and a blue line means a cold front. The triangles show which direction the front is moving. Hope that helps.
Why are the triangles and semi circles on the symbol for a cold front and a warm front facing in one direction?
why are the triangles and semi circles on the symbol for a cold front and a warm front facing in one direction The symbols are on the side in which the front is moving. If it is stationary then it alternates.
What does weather front mean in sciance?
it when a cold front and a warm front meet

What is the weather along a front?
its is misty and cold on A COLD FRONT AND MUGGY AND WARM ON A WARM FRONT
In regards to weather what does a cold front mean?
A cold front means the leading of a cold atmospheric air mas moving against and taking over a warm air mass, creating a cold front. The cold air replaces the warm air due to the cold air having a higher density then the warm air.
When a rapidly moving cold air mass runs into a slow moving warm air mass what is the result?
A cold front is formed. Yes a cold front is formed, but this could also come to mean that a cold front overtakes a warm front which means a new front would be formed called an occluded front.

Does precipitation come before or after a warm front?
Not normally before a warm front, precipitation comes before and after a cold front. When you have warm air and a cold front comes through, you mix warm with cold and that brings precipitation.
Describe the four major types of fronts?
1) Warm front - warm air mass replacing a cold air mass at ground level. Typically shifts wind southeasterly to southwesterly. 2) Cold front - Cold air replacing warm air at ground level. Tyoically shifts southwesterly to northwesterly 3) Stationary front - Equal amount of energy between warm and cold air masses creating a "stalemate".
What is heavier a warm front or a cold front?
It depends on if you mean heavy rain or light rain. If you mean heavy rain then when a cold air mass rises over a warm air mas. If you mean light rain then when a warm air mass rises over a warm air mass.
What is an occlude front?
A cold front normally moves at twice the speed of a warm front. An occluded front forms when a cold front catches up with a warm front. Occluded fronts are of two types:1. Cold occlusion : If the airmass of the advancing cold front is colder than the cool airmass of the warm front, the advancing cold front undercuts and lifts both the warm and cool airmass of the warm front. The weather is initially warm front type but during the passage of front, showery weather of cold front occurs. This occlusion is common in summer. 2. Warm occlusion : When the airmass behind the advancing cold front is less colder (cool) than the cold airmass of the warm front ahead, the advancing cold front overrides the warm front ahead. The weather in such a case is similar to that of warm front. This type of occlusion occurs in winters and is less common.
