What type of weather front forms when a cold air mass pushes a warm air mass?
A cold front forms when a cold air mass moves into and displaces a warm air mass. As the dense cold air pushes the warm air up, it creates a boundary known as a cold front. This usually leads to showers and thunderstorms along the front.
How do cold fronts form?
a cold front forms by cold air mass pushes under a warm air mass
When a cold air mass moves into an area where a warm air mass is located it is called a?
a warm front
When a cold air mass moves into an area where a warm air mass is located it is called a(n)?
When a cold air mass moves into an area where a warm air mass is located, it is called a cold front. Cold fronts typically bring cooler temperatures, precipitation, and sometimes thunderstorms as the denser cold air displaces the warmer air.
What is a large mass of snow and ice that moves slowly over land?
Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over ice is called a glacier.

When precipitation occurs out ahead of an advancing front it is typically this type of front?
This is typically a cold front. As the cold air mass moves under the warm air mass, it pushes the warm air upwards, where it condensates and creates precipitation.
When a mass of cold air presses on the surface of the earth is called what?
It is called a cold front. Cold air mass is denser than warm air, so when it moves in and pushes existing warm air upward, it creates changes in weather conditions.

When cold air mass pushes a warm air mass it forms what?
It is a warm front.
What is a huge mass of water that moves slowly?
Glacier
What is warm fronts and cold fronts?
A cold front is a zone where cold air mass is advancing to replace warmer air; usually moves west to east in North America. A warm front is a zone where warm air mass is advancing to replace cold air; usually moves more slowly then a cold air mass.
Are masses the same as fronts?
No. An air mass is a large mass of air with given characteristics of temperature and humidity that distinguish it from surrounding air masses. A front is the boundary between two air masses. For example, a cold front marks were a cold air mass moves in and pushes a warmer one out of the way.
When a cold air mass moves into an area where a cold air mass is located it is called?
it is called a cold front
What forms when a cold air mass moves under a warm air mass?
a cold front
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.
When a warm air mass pushes a cold air mass it forms what?
When a warm air mass pushes against a cold air mass, it can form a warm front. This is characterized by the warm air rising over the denser cold air, leading to a gradual transition in weather conditions as the warm air replaces the cold air.
