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
What is Warm air may push over cold air and form cloud called?
funnel cloud
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.
When warm air approaches cold air what does the cold air do?
the cold air pushes the warm air up and forms cumulus clouds
Why can a cold front push a warm front?
Cold air is denser than warm air. Which allows it to slide under that warm air and displace it.
When cold air masses push against warm air masses what is formed?
A cold front.
Why do cold fronts push into warm front and go under the warm front?
Cold air is more dense than warm air and therefore heavier
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
When you turn on a heater how does the warm th get to you?
i think that the warm air push's out the cold air and than as the heat build around you. it warm you
Do convection currents push warm air down and cold air up?
Warm air naturally goes up/rises and cold air has to make a current where it can go until it reaches a warm current which is under the warm air.
What forms when the warm air get push up by the cold air?
it forms towering cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds
What is Warm air may push over cold air and form cloud called?
funnel cloud
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
Why does cold air push under warm air along a cold front?
Because with any gas, air expands and rises when it is heated (by the Earth's heat/suns reflection in this case) so the cold air is at the bottom.
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
