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.
Why is mass movement more common after heavy rainfall?
Mudslides
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.
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.
Why is cyclonic rainfall common in the belt of westerlies?
temperate cyclones causes rainfall. westerlies are strong winds..............
What forms when a cold air mass and a warm air mass meeting?
condensation of water , rain in fact
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.
How is Ireland affected b polar air mass?
When a polar air mass slips down over Ireland, it can bring cold weather. If the meeting point between a cold and warm air mass is over Ireland it can bring rain.
When cold air runs into warm air where does each mass go?
I don't know, but usually it creates a disaster like a tornado or a hurricane, so watch out for cold and warm are meeting.
Explain Why is mass movement more common after heavy rainfall?
well because the rain is heavier and that make the mass wasting also known as mass movement is more common heavy when heavy rainfall
Why is mass movement more common after heavy rainfall?
Mudslides

What happens when Warm air mass and cold air mass meeting and no movement occurs?
Hiwhat happens when exposed air meets foodThank you.
Physical rain definition?
The difference lies in what causes the rainfall to occur. In convectional rainfall, the sun heats the earth and the heat causes moisture from soil, plants and open water bodies to evaporate. This moisture is carried upwards through convective air currents until it reaches a certain altitude. At that point, where the air is cooler, it condenses and creates water droplets (rain). This usually occurs in the afternoon on warm summer days. Frontal rainfall occurs because of the movement of the fronts of two air masses. When a cold front is moving over a mass of warm air, it causes the warm moist air to rise. In this case, rain occurs ahead of the cold front. When a warm front is moving over a mass of cold air, the warm moist air is forced upward, and the rain occurs over or behind the front. Finally, relief rainfall is caused by changes in topography. Moist warm air can be forced upward by mountains, for example, which causes the moisture to condense into rain. This type of rainfall occurs on the side of the mountain away from the wind direction.
What air mass chases what air mass in a cold front?
cold and warm
When a cold air mass replaces a warm air mass its called a?
Cold
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.
