What type of front can create violent thunder storms and even tornadoes?
Cold fronts are most often associated with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, but such storms can form along warm fronts, stationary fronts, and dry lines.
What do lines with tiny triangles on one side represent according to a weather map?
The type of front associated with purple triangles and semicircles on a weather map is a occluded front.
What kind of front is associated with the formation of tornadoes?
Tornadoes frequently form along cold fronts and dry lines. Occasionally they may form along warm fronts. Some tornadoes form from thunderstorms not associated with any fronts.
What types of fronts bring thunderstorms?
Tornadoes do not necessarily need any sort of front. Tornadoes will most often form along either a cold front or a dry line, but can on occasion form along a warm front. Hurricanes, which are not associated with fronts at all, often produce tornadoes. Air mass thunderstorms can also produce tornadoes on rare occasions.
What happens in a occluded front?
At the boundary lines of air masses with different densities and/or temperature. There are cold fronts, warm fronts and occluded fronts. Cold fronts usually move faster than warm fronts.
What are the long lines of thunderstorms in front of a moving cold front?
__*Squall Lines .
What do you call a long line of thunderstorms along a cold front?
Squall Lines
What types of thunderstorms produce tornadoes?
Tornadoes are most often associated with supercell thunderstorms. However, a variety of thunderstorms can produce them including squall lines and multicell clusters.
How do thunderstorms tornadoes and blizzards affect our electricity?
Blizzards, tornadoes, and thunderstorms can all cause power outages by damaging or destroying power lines.
What front brings stormy weather like tornadoes?
Thunderstorms and tornadoes most often form along cold fronts but they can form along dry lines and, on rare occasions, warm fronts. Some may form in the absence of any front.
Why are power outages more common during thunderstorms?
because the lightning hits the the power lines and electricity runs through power lines

In the US, both solid white lines and double white lines are used to mark areas of prohibited lane changes in multi-lane traffic. Broken (dashed) yellow lines, solid yellow lines, and double yellow lines are used to separate traffic moving in opposite directions.
Clouds of cold fronts are usually cumuliform?
Cumuliform clouds typically form along or ahead of a cold front. Most cloudiness and precipitation associated with a cold front occur as a relatively narrow band along or just ahead of where the front intersects Earth's surface.
