What do cold fronts and warm fronts do?
cold fronts is where the air is all condenced and when it is a warm front then it will push all of the cold air out of the atmosphere and it will probably be a storm
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.
Does air travel from warm to cold or from cold to warm?
Cold to warm
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 will happend to the temperature once an occluded front moves through?
The cold air mass from the cold front meets the cool air that was ahead of the warm front. The warm air rises as these air masses come together.

Where does the hot air and cold air come from in a tornado?
Warm anc cold air colliding are not a direct cause of tornadoes, but they can be a step in the process. where they come from depends on the region the weater system is in. But normally the warm air comes from a warm part of the ocean while the cold air comes from a cold region. In the Central United States, for example, the warm air comes from the Gulf of Mexico while the cold air comes from Canada.
What front is created when warm air and cold air collide?
That depends. If the cold air pushes into the warm air, moving it out of the way it is called a cold front. If the cold air retreats with warm air coming in to to replace it, the front is a warm front. if the two air masses come together along a boundary that does not move the result is a stationary front.
What is less dense warm air or cold air?
Warm air is less dense (lighter) than cold air..that is why warm air rises and cold air settles
Does air travel from warm to cold or from cold to warm?
Cold to warm
What happens in cold and warm air masses?
what happens in cold and warm masses pressure
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.
What is the difference in density between warm and cold air?
The density between cold and warm air is, cold air is heavier than warm air.
Is it true that the cold air come from the poles and the warm air comes from the equator?
yes it is true
When cold air moves toward warm air it pushes the warm air where?
It pushes the warm air above the cold air
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.
