What is a warm air mass advancing under a cold air mass called?
a cold front.
What type of weather system includes cold dense air that displaces warm air forcing the warm air up?
inversion
When cold air sinks is it a cold front or a warm front?
It isn't really either of those things. However, it will produce cold fronts as the cold air displaces the warmer air.
Air mass that forms over a cold region is called?
Air masses that are cold and forms over polar regions is polar. A cold front occurs when a cold air mass meets and displaces a warm air mass. A front that forms when a warm air mass is trapped between cold air masses and forced to rise is called a occluded front.
What forms when a cool and warm air masses meet?
A front forms. The type of front depends on which air mass is advancing. If the cool air mass advances, it is a cold front. If a warm air mass advances, it is a warm front. If neither advances, it is a stationary front.
Is it true that a moving cold front moves cold air over warm air?
No, cold air displaces warm air from the bottom because it's denser.
What is a warm air mass advancing under a cold air mass called?
a cold front.
What is a warm weather front?
A warm front is where advancing warm air displaces cold air. Because the air ahead of a warm font moves more slowly than does an advancing cold air mass, the warm air encounters less friction with the ground and thus develops a gradual frontal slope rather than a steep boundary. It is characterized by extensive cloudiness and precipitation.On a weather chart, a warm front appears as a solid red line with regularly spaced, solid red semicircles pointing in the direction of the front's motion.Warm fronts are air masses that have warm temperatures.
What fronts occur when heavy cold air displaces lighter warm air and pushing it upward?
Cold front.
Does a warm front form when a cold air mass moves into a warm air mass?
No. The warm air mass always rises above the cold air mass. And if the cold air is advancing, that makes it a cold front.
What type of weather system includes cold dense air that displaces warm air forcing the warm air up?
inversion
What is warm fronts and cold fronts?
A cold front is a zone where cold air mass is advancing to replace warmer air; usually moves west to east in North America. A warm front is a zone where warm air mass is advancing to replace cold air; usually moves more slowly then a cold air mass.
What is a hot front and a cold front?
a cold front is a boundry of advancing mass of colled air a warm front is the oppposite its a mass of warm air
What often falls when a cold front displaces a warm air mass?
Rain or snow.
When a cold air mass catches up to a warm air mass its called a what?
When a cold FRONT catches up to a warm FRONT it is called an occluded front.When a cold AIR MASS displaces a warmer AIR MASS it is a cold front.Occluded front
What type of weather front forms when a cold air mass pushes a warm air mass?
If the cold air is advancing, that makes it a cold front.
When cold air sinks is it a cold front or a warm front?
It isn't really either of those things. However, it will produce cold fronts as the cold air displaces the warmer air.
