What are air masses bend at boundaries to form?
The boundaries between air masses are called front. The types of air mass and movements involved determine the type of front. Warm front: a warm air mass plows into a cold air mass. Cold front: a cold air mass plows into a warm air mass. Stationary front: The warm and cold air masses move little relative to one another. Occluded front: A cold front catches up with a warm front, sending the warm air mass aloft. Dry line: a dry air mass plows into a moist air mass.
What front is created when warm air and cold air collide?
That depends. If the cold air pushes into the warm air, moving it out of the way it is called a cold front. If the cold air retreats with warm air coming in to to replace it, the front is a warm front. if the two air masses come together along a boundary that does not move the result is a stationary front.
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 the boundary where unlike air masses meet but do not easily mix?
A front is where air masses meet but don't mix, but only a stationary front is one where the air masses then don't move. A stationary front is when cold air meets warm air, but they do not advance toward or pass each other. The weather will be light wind and precipitation. Eventually, overtime, ONE air mass(Cold or Warm), will take over.
How do air masses move across the US?
In the United States air masses move across the country by air currents. These air currents are pushed by either hot or cold air masses.

A front forms when two air masses meet and dont move?
That is a stalled Front
How does a cold front move?
a cold front moves up rapidly.
How do air masses of different pressures and temperatures move around?
Air masses of different pressures and temperature move around the Earth. The cold air masses that form at the poles move toward the equator, while the warm air masses that form at the equator move toward the poles.

What happens in a stationary front?
A cold air mass and a warm air mass meet, with neither moving.During a stationary front the weather will stay the same for several days or more than a week. It depends on what type of front is making the other front stationary.
When air masses collide and don't move anywhere what is it called?
Stationary Front
What happens when Warm air mass and cold air mass meeting and no movement occurs?
Hiwhat happens when exposed air meets foodThank you.
