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.


What are the differences between a cold and warm fronts?

A warm front is a front that is created when a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet but do not mix. The warm air mass slowly moves and catches up to the cold air mass and slowly crashes into it, then the warm air mass rises and rains. After a little while the air masses go away from each other. A cold front is created when a fast moving cold air mass colides with a slow moving warm air mass, the warm air mass rises, rains, and they go away from each other eventually.

Cold and Warm Fronts?

A cold front is the transition zone were a cold air mass replaces a warm air mass. A warm front is a transition zone were a warm air mass replaces a cold air mass.


What forms when a cold air mass meets a warm air mass?

One of two things are created when a cold air mass meets a warm air mass. The most common thing that is created is a cold front with the cold are rising over the warm. This can cause a line of rain and storms to break out. The other is the creation of a warm front, which is more like the warm air nudging in under the cold air. This too can create rain but it is usually less turbulent.


Does a warm front form when a cold air mass moves into a warm air mass?

No. The warm air mass always rises above the cold air mass. And if the cold air is advancing, that makes it a cold front.


What occurs when a mass of cold air moves into a mass of warm air?

What happens is similar to when a warm air mass meets a cold air mass: the Cold Air Mass is forced to Subside beneath the Warm Air Mass. Thusly the warm air is uplifted, it cools and Rain is formed. When a Warm Air Mass meets a Cold Air Mass, the warm air is [again] forced to Rise above the Cold Air Mass, it cools and Rain is formed.


What type of front forms when a warm air mass overtakes a slowly moving cold air mass?

When a war air mass overtakes a slow moving cold air mass a warm front is created. Clouds ahead of warm front are stratiform and rainfall increases as the front approaches.


When a cold air mass reaches a warm air mass the result is usually?

Either a tornado or thunderstorm,as warm and cold air masses fight as the warm air mass escalates over the cold air mass.


When cold air mass moves into a warm air mass causing a cold front the warm air mass is?

The warm air mass is forced to rise, creating convection and precipitation.


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.


What happens when a cold front bumps into a warm front that is not moving?

it gets destroyed
