Is a warm front mass of warm air that moves into a region that has cooler air?
Jump to: navigation, searchApproaching weather fronts are often visible from the ground, but are not always as well defined as thisA weather front is a boundary separating two masses of air of different densities, and is the principal cause of meteorological phenomena. In surface weather analyses, fronts are depicted using various colored lines and symbols, depending on the type of front. The air masses separated by a front usually differ in temperature and humidity. Cold fronts may feature narrow bands of thunderstorms and severe weather, and may on occasion be preceded by squall lines or dry lines. Warm fronts are usually preceded by stratiform precipitation and fog. The weather usually clears quickly after a front's passage. Some fronts produce no precipitation and little cloudiness, although there is invariably a wind shift.[1]Cold fronts and occluded fronts generally move from west to east, while warm fronts move poleward. Because of the greater density of air in their wake, cold fronts and cold occlusions move faster than warm fronts and warm occlusions. Mountains and warm bodies of water can slow the movement of fronts.[2] When a front becomes stationary, and the density contrast across the frontal boundary vanishes, the front can degenerate into a line which separates regions of differing wind velocity, known as a shearline. This is most common over the open ocean.hope it helps!!!!
How is it possible for two atoms of the same element to have different masses?
yes . its possible because its called an istotope
What is the force of attraction that exists between any two masses anywhere in the universe called?
gravity
What actually causes gravity. What actually pulls the matter down?
Gravity is caused by the masses of the objects involved. Different objects attract each other, just because they have a certain amount of a property called "mass".Gravity is caused by the masses of the objects involved.

Can the masses be neglected if the masses are equal?
Yes. If the masses are the same, then it can be considered as a constant and thus neglected.
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.
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
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 is an extratropical cyclone different from a tropical cyclone?
Extratropical cyclones are typically connected to fronts and usually form along boundaries of air masses of different temperature and/or dew point. Tropical cyclones are different in that they have what is called a "warm core" and a fueled by a somewhat different mechanism.
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.
Area of low pressure where air masses meet and rise is called?
it is a tornado
