Fronts form because?
Fronts form in the weather because of convection. There is a boundary created from two air masses of different masses.
What types of air masses do jet streams separate?
It separates hot air masses and cold air masses
How do scientists classify air masses?
Scientists classify air masses according to their general characteristics and latitude. Artic air masses form at around 60 degrees latitude, Polar masses are at around 40 degrees latitude, warm tropical air masses are at 15 degrees latitude and very hot air masses form near the equator.
What are Air masses that form over land are called?
continental air masses
Is it true that Air masses that form near the equator are tropical air masses?
yes
What is a loop of moving air that forms in both air and water.?
air masses
What does gravity have to do with tornadoes?
Air masses of low density tend to rise because they are less strongly affected by gravity than cool air masses. Rising warm air masses is the primary cause of convection on earth. Thunderstorms are a product of convection. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms.
What happens when convection occurs in the atmosphere?
cooler air masses sink and warmer air masses rise.
What is the method of heat transfer between two air masses?
The primary method of heat transfer between two air masses is convection.
What are the causes of uplift in the atmosphere?
Convection (rising air), orographic uplift/forced convection (air up a mountain), frontal uplift (front), and convergence uplift (air masses converge)
Fronts form because?
Fronts form in the weather because of convection. There is a boundary created from two air masses of different masses.
What type of wind moves us air masses?
Most likely Convection!
Other ways to say convection current?
They are formed when warm and cold air masses meet in the atmosphere. They are found in the Troposphere.
What moves by convection?
Convection means 'the act of carrying.' In physics the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. In Meteorology it is the process in which masses of warm air are raised into the atmosphere, which then cool and form clouds
What does Air masses?
There are two types of air masses: COLD AIR AND WARM AIR.Cold Air Masses-Cold air masses can cause thunderstorms and even tornadoes.Warm Air Masses-Warm air masses can bring many hours of steady rain and snow.
What types of air masses do jet streams separate?
It separates hot air masses and cold air masses
What moving air masses cause?
The temperature and density of the air masses. the air masses moves when hot air and cold air gets together
