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.
Are cold air masses lighter the warm air masses or the same?
cold fronts are heavier than warm fronts
Front that forms when a warm air mass is trapped between cold air masses and forced to rise is called?
occluded front is what it maybe!
What makes the movement of air?
Differing air temperature causing cold air to sink, and warm air to rise is the main cause of air movement.
Air mass that forms over a cold region is called?
Air masses that are cold and forms over polar regions is polar. A cold front occurs when a cold air mass meets and displaces a warm air mass. A front that forms when a warm air mass is trapped between cold air masses and forced to rise is called a occluded front.
Do cold dry air masses sink or rise?
cold air sinks as denser - warm air rises
What kind of density do warm air and cold air masses have?
Cold air is more dense than warm air. This is why cold air masses tend to descend, and warm air masses tend to rise.
What kind of density do warm air mass and cold air masses have?
Cold air is more dense than warm air. This is why cold air masses tend to descend, and warm air masses tend to rise.
What is the name of the process when warm molecules rise and cold molecules sink?
You are describing convection.
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.
Convection currents form when warm air rises and cold air sinks What causes the warm air to rise and the cold air to sink?
a difference in density
Convection currents form when warm air rises and cold air sinks. What causes the warm air to rise and the cold air to sink?
a deference in density
What type of water will things float down faster in warm or cold?
Cold will sink to the bottom. Hot water will rise to the top.
Are warm air masses lighter than cold air masses?
Warm air masses are lighter than cold air masses because the molecules of cold air move slower than the warm air's molecules.
What is a front that forms when a warm air mass is trapped between cold air masses and is forced to rise?
Occluded front
What happens in cold and warm air masses?
what happens in cold and warm masses pressure
Are cold air masses lighter the warm air masses or the same?
cold fronts are heavier than warm fronts
