hot air rises because it is less dense than cold air..this occurs by the process of convection

What happens when a hot cloud and cold cloud meet?
Perhaps there is an equality met.
Does a tornado occur when warm and cold air masses meet?
Not necessarily. A collision of warm and cold air will often produce thunderstorms, but other conditions are needed for those storms to produce tornadoes. Additionally, tornadoes can form from thunderstorms produced by other circumstances.
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.
What is the prevailing wind direction in Omaha?
Normally from the west. In summer warm moist winds come from the south to meet colder north winds to produce thunderstorms. In winter cold northerly winds can produce snowstorms and blizzards.
Describe the four major types of fronts?
1) Warm front - warm air mass replacing a cold air mass at ground level. Typically shifts wind southeasterly to southwesterly. 2) Cold front - Cold air replacing warm air at ground level. Tyoically shifts southwesterly to northwesterly 3) Stationary front - Equal amount of energy between warm and cold air masses creating a "stalemate".
When hot and cold air meet the hot air rises to the top. Which process causes the hot air to rise?
Convection
When hot and cold air meet the hot air rises to the top Which process causes the hot air to rise?
convection (studyisland answer)
What is it called when hot and cold air meet and the hot air rises to the top?
it forms a tornadow
What causes frontal rainfall?
Frontal rainfall is caused by the lifting of warm, moist air when a warm air mass meets a cold air mass. As the warm air rises and cools, it condenses to form clouds and precipitation. This type of rainfall is common in regions where air masses with different temperatures collide, such as in mid-latitude regions.
What is front in science?
It is when two air masses meet. For example, Warm air rises and condenses into clouds when a warm front and a cold front bumps into each other.
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 cold air moves in and warm moist air meet what happens?
A cold front forms. The warm, moist air, which is less dense, gets forced upwards. As it rises it cools and the moisture in it condenses. This results in rain and possibly thunderstorms.
What are fronts and what causes them?
A front is a place where two are mass meet. It is cause by wind.i believe the person who asked this question would like more info than just WIND.a front is where two different air masses meet and a boundary forms between them. When a warm mass and a cold mass meet, it causes a front.
What happens when fronts meet?
When fronts meet from the opposite and collide, it is called an occluded front. A cold occluded front is cold air shoving under cool air at the Earth's surface thus the name 'cold occlusion'. The cold warm air boundary aloft is often west of the surface front. A warm occlusion is when cool air rises over cold air at the surface thus the name 'warm occlusion'. The warm-cold air boundary aloft is often east of the surface front. By Lisa Gardiner
Where does the wind get its energy?
Rises and drops in pressure and when differing pressures meet
What causes condensation on plumbing?
The difference in temperature causes the condensation. Water molecules in the air meet the cold surface of the plumbing material and condensate on the cold surface. In a cold atmosphere the water molecules would condensate and form rain drops. If the temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees F, ice will build up on the plumbing, like water molecules will transform to ice crystals, known as hail or snow. You can see that ice forming process happening in your refrigerator or freezer.
Where warm and cold air meet?
They meet at a front.
