A cold front occurs when a cool air mass pushes into a warmer one. Since cool air is denser than warm air, the warm air mass gets forced up and over the cooler one. As the air rises it cools, causing moisture in it to condense into clouds and rain.

What type of air mass forms over tropical waters?
A maritime tropical or warm, moist air mass.
When a warm air mass is colliding with a cold air mass what is the border between the two air masses called?
The location where two different air masses meet is called a front.
Are maritime polar air mass likely to be dry and cold?
Pay close attention to your question. A maritime (meaning oceanic) air mass has moisture, therefore it's not dry. Polar (meaning from the polar region) air mass is cold, therefore it is cold. Hence a maritime polar air mass would be moist and cold...how hard was that?
Cold air mass?
A cold air mass is a mass of air that has colder characteristics than the surrounding air.
What happens when a cold air mass meets and replaces a warm air mass?
A cold front develops, often resulting in precipitation, and sometimes thunderstorms.
What air mass composed of cold moist air?
A maritime polar air mass is composed of cold, moist air.
What triggers the development of tornatoes?
a cold air mass colliding with a hot air mass
What happens when a warm humid air mass is pushed ahead of a cold front?
It produces lift which if in a moist enough airmass will produce thunderstorms
Which are the characteristics of a maritime polar air mass?
A maritime polar air mass is characterized as a cold and moist air mass.
What are the characteristics of the air in a maritime polar air mass?
A maritime polar air mass is characterized as a cold and moist air mass.
What happens to a moist air mass as it moves up in the atmosphere?
It cools and condenses
What type of air mass forms over tropical waters?

What type of air mass come from polar ocean areas?
cold and moist air mass comes from polar ocean areas
When a warm air mass is colliding with a cold air mass what is the border between the two air masses called?
The location where two different air masses meet is called a front.
What happens when a warm air mass moves into a cold air mass?
The warm air mass is forced up and over the cold air mass, resulting in the development of a cold front.
When a cold air mass overtakes a warm air mass we call it a cold air mass what happens along this front?
severe weather
What happens when a warm air mass meets with a cold air mass?
If you mean when a mass of cold air meets a mass of warm air, then a front is created.
