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.
How does frontal occur?
Warm air rises quicklier then cold air. When those two meet, the warmer and lighter air rises OVER the colder and heavier air. If the warm air rises the warm air coolsdown when it's very high, and then the warm air forms clouds. A front is the place where cold and warm air meets. Along fronts in Europe, there are found a lot of rain and clouds most of the time.
When warm air rises it expands causing it to lose the ability to hold water creating?
RAIN
What is frontal uplift?
its when cold air pushes its way under warm air, which rises, cools then condenses and rain falls
Are clouds produced from condensation?
Yes, as the warm air rises, it cools, condenses and then forms clouds.
Warm air rises because of its?
the warm air rises because of its Kinetic energy !
When warm air rises it expands this causes it to lose the ability to hold water creating?
precipitation (rain)
How rain is formed from a lake?
its all to do with the hydrological cycle. the water from a lake is evaporated by the sun and as this condensation is warm it rises. the warm air then moves to areas where the air is cold and cools, condenses and forms rain clouds.
Cold air holds more moisture than warm air does?
Yes it does. which is why as it rises into the cooler upper atmosphere it will start to rain.
Is produced when a cold air mass moves into an area where a war air mass is located?
Heat rises. So warm air rises in the atmosphere pushing the cooler air down. This causes wind. Because hot air can contain more moisture than cool air, as the warm air rises through the cool air and cools off, the air cannot hold the moisture as well and results clouds and rain. If there is a lot of moisture in the air on a very warm day and a mass of cold air (cold front) moves into an area, the warm moist air rises rapidly, condenses and causes thunderstorms. If the air is moving up rapidly enough, the air will spin (caused by the rotation of the earth) and possibly cause a tornado.
What happen when warm moist air rises?
When warm moist air rises it cools and condenses.
The rain shadow effect occurs because?
warm air rises and drops moisture on one side of the mouintain
