What is a warm air mass advancing under a cold air mass called?
a cold front.
Why doesn't a warm air mass under a cold air mass at a warm front?
Warm air is lighter than cold air, that means that warm air will rise and the cold air will sink.
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 the boundary between 2 air masses called a front?
Fronts in meteorology are the leading edges of air masses with different density.
When a cold air mass reaches a warm air mass the result is usually?
Either a tornado or thunderstorm,as warm and cold air masses fight as the warm air mass escalates over the cold air mass.
What is a warm air mass advancing under a cold air mass called?
a 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 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
When precipitation occurs out ahead of an advancing front it is typically this type of front?
This is typically a cold front. As the cold air mass moves under the warm air mass, it pushes the warm air upwards, where it condensates and creates precipitation.
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 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.
What happen in a cold front?
A cold air mass comes in under a warm air mass.
What forms when a cold air mass moves under a warm air mass?
a cold front
Why doesn't a warm air mass under a cold air mass at a warm front?
Warm air is lighter than cold air, that means that warm air will rise and the cold air will sink.
What is a occludded front?
An occluded front is when a warm air mass is caught between two cooler air masses.1. Cold occluson : If the airmass of the advancing cold front is colder than the cool airmass of the warm front, the advancing cold front undercuts and lifts both the warm and cool airmass of the warm front. The weather is initially warm front type but during the passage of front, showery weather of cold front occurs. This occlusion is comon in summers. 2. Warm occlusion : When the airmass behind the advancing cold front is less colder (cool) than the cold airmass of the warm front ahead, the advancing cold front overrides the warm front aheaad. The weather in such a case is similar to that of warm front. This type of occlusion occurs in winters and is less common.
What is the difference between a cold fronts and warm fronts?
Cold fronts are defined by cold air advancing, sliding under and displacing warmer air - they are steeper and move more quickly.Warm air cannot displace cold air easily because it is less dense. Therefore, it rides up and over it, producing stratus and nimbostratus clouds where light precipitation falls.the boundary of an advancing mass of warm air, in particular the leading edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.
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.
