Why are fronts important?

There are cold and warm weather fronts. On a weather map they are defined by sudden changes in the ambient temperature. For example, in front of a cold front, which typically travels west to east, we find the temperature over the area in front will be several degrees warmer than behind that cold front. Conversely, if it's a warm front, the air in front will be several degree colder than behind that warm front. Typically the cold fronts are created by low pressure areas and warm fronts by high pressure areas. As the names imply, low pressure areas have atmospheric pressures lower than the surrounding areas. And high pressure areas have atm pressures that are higher than the surrounding areas.


When warm air is pushed up by cooler air closing in from both sides what kind of front results?

When warm air is pushed up by cooler air closing in from both sides, a cold front results. Cold fronts occur when a mass of cold, dense air displaces warmer air, leading to the lifting of the warm air. This lifting can cause rapid temperature changes, weather disturbances, and storm development.


How does a warm front happens?

Warm fronts create different types of clouds than cold fronts because of the way the air is pushed. In a cold front, the warm air is forced to rise where as a warm fronts air just smoothly glides above the cold air causing a different condensation pattern for the fronts


What is the boundary between air masses of different temperature humidity or density called?

A 'Weather front'. A Warm front is changing the weather from cool dry conditions to warmer wet conditions., (higher humidity). A cold front is changing the weather from warmer wet conditions , to drier cooler conditions. (lower humidity , but with showers). An Occluded front is when warm air is pushed into the upper atmosphere, but will often bring rain.


Why does high pressure systems mean clear weather?

By good weather we usually mean no rain with few or no clouds. Rain and clouds generally form when air rises, which causes it to cool and the moisture in it to condense. A high pressure system has the opposite effect. Air sinks and warms up. The warming will tend to cause clouds to evaporate.

How do warm fronts cold fronts affect the weather?

Warm fronts give rain and clouds, cold fronts cause skies to clear , together they cause tornado's and big storms. When a warm front moves in, the cold air is pushed up. There are clouds and possibly rain, then the opposite happens when a cold front moves in. Cold fronts move under and overtake the warm mass and go underneath. This causes the skies to clear because of the rapid change in air temperature. ANOTHER ANSWER. So basically, a warm front can bring hours or days of wet weather and steady rain. A cold front can bring thunderstorms and even tornadoes. A stationary front can bring light wind and precipitation.


Can cold fronts and warm fronts be a lifting mechanism?

Yes, both cold fronts and warm fronts can act as lifting mechanisms in the atmosphere. Cold fronts tend to lift warm, less dense air rapidly, creating instability and often causing strong thunderstorms. Warm fronts, on the other hand, gradually lift over cooler air, typically leading to more widespread and prolonged precipitation events.

Why did europeans settle in Vermont?

The Europeans settled in Vermont because they were being pushed around. They came to the USA by boat, floated down the almost finished Erie Canal and ended up in Vermont. they settled here but realized the weather was to cold so they headed down to southern Vermont where the weather was warmer.


What happens at the boundary between two air masses?

At the boundary between two air masses, there is often a front. This can result in changes in weather conditions such as temperature, humidity, and precipitation. Fronts can be warm, cold, stationary, or occluded depending on the characteristics of the air masses involved.
