Are cold air masses lighter the warm air masses or the same?
cold fronts are heavier than warm fronts
Fronts form because?
Fronts form in the weather because of convection. There is a boundary created from two air masses of different masses.
What are common fronts in North America?
Colliding air masses in North America can form 4 types of fronts: cold fronts, warm fronts, stationary fronts, and occluded fronts.
Air masses bend at boundaries to form?
Fronts
How does the atmosphere circulate as air masses?
The atmosphere moves in masses. When two masses collide they are called fronts. When a cold air mass goes into the land occupied by a warm mass it makes a cold front. The opposite makes a warm mass.
What is the boundary between air masses is called?
A front
What happens when air masses meet fronts?
when two air masses meets at fronts,cyclonic rain occurs.
What causes fronts?
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.
Are cold air masses lighter the warm air masses or the same?
cold fronts are heavier than warm fronts
Air masses are known as?
fronts
What causes unsettled weather and storms to brew?
Storms are caused by the collision of air masses that have different temperatures and humidities.
Fronts form because?
Fronts form in the weather because of convection. There is a boundary created from two air masses of different masses.
What are common fronts in North America?
Colliding air masses in North America can form 4 types of fronts: cold fronts, warm fronts, stationary fronts, and occluded fronts.
How are fronts and air masses related?
They are both boundaries that occur most often between a front and an air mass.
How does unequal heating of earth affect the movement of air masses?
Unequal heating cause air masses to form fronts. Fronts are masses that contain air that is all the same temperature and at the same altitude.
Air masses bend at boundaries to form?
Fronts
How does the atmosphere circulate as air masses?
The atmosphere moves in masses. When two masses collide they are called fronts. When a cold air mass goes into the land occupied by a warm mass it makes a cold front. The opposite makes a warm mass.
