Cold fronts and occluded fronts generally move from west to east, while warm fronts move poleward. Because of the greater density of air in their wake, cold fronts and cold occlusions move faster than warm fronts and warm occlusions. Mountains and warm bodies of water can slow the movement of fronts.[2] When a front becomes stationary, and the density contrast across the frontal boundary vanishes, the front can degenerate into a line which separates regions of differing wind velocity, known as a shearline. This is most common over the open ocean.

What does this symbol indicate on a weather map when it have three triangles?
They stand for an approaching storm front. If I remember correctly, a red line means a warm front and a blue line means a cold front. The triangles show which direction the front is moving. Hope that helps.
If something is being carried by westerlieswhat direction is it moving toward?
It is moving toward the east. westerly describes the direction the wind comes from
What direction is the Cocos Plate moving?
Cocos Plate is moving towards the north-east.
How does a slow-moving cold front differ from a fast-moving cold front?
A slow moving front is relatively like a stationary front, bringing rain for quite a while as the front approaches, then when the front passes, it will bring cold weather for a longer period of time because the front will be around for a longer period of time. A fast moving front will bring cold for a shorter period of time and less rain as the front approaches. These are the simple effects of what will happen.
What is the bromine motion?
is a moving motion in diffrent direction
How do you know which way a front is moving?
There are many ways to tell which direction a front is moving in. You could track its path for example.
Front that is not distinctly moving in any direction is a?
A "stationary front"...
What direction are you moving in if you move to the front of a frog?
anterior
Does speed tell us what direction an object is moving?
Speed is a scalar quantity and has only magnitude and not direction. Hence, speed cannot tell us what direction an object is moving. However, velocity which is the vector equivalent of speed, can tell us the direction.
What does velocity tell you about a moving object?
Velocity tells you what speed a moving object travels at and in what direction.
Why are the triangles and semi circles on the symbol for a cold front and a warm front facing in one direction?
why are the triangles and semi circles on the symbol for a cold front and a warm front facing in one direction The symbols are on the side in which the front is moving. If it is stationary then it alternates.
When you look at a weather map how do you know which direction a cold or warm front is moving?
the red line is the warm front and the cold front is the blue line
What is the weather for cold fronts?
On a weather map, the symbol for a cold front is a blue line with blue triangles facing the direction that the front is moving.

Which direction from earth is mercury?
It really doesn't have deffonent direction because they are always moving. But it is NEVER sount because Mercury is in front of earth on the solar system.
How can you tell that an object is in motion?
it would be in the process of moving It depends on your perspective. If you were also moving in the same direction and at the same speed, is the object moving?
Can one car be in front of the other when both cars moving at the same speed heading to the same direction?
Of course.
