A front is an unsettled area between two calmer air masses. It usually involves wind and frequently rain. High winds can cause damage.

When a cold front manages to take over a warm front it is called?

When a cold front overtakes a warm front, it is known as an occluded front. This occurs when the cold air behind the cold front catches up with the warm air ahead of the warm front, forcing the warm air upward.


What is the difference between an ordinary front and an occluded front?

An occluded front is a cold front that is moving faster than a warm front. The cold front soon "catches up" to the warm warm and they merge together.


Does precipitation come before or after a warm front?

Not normally before a warm front, precipitation comes before and after a cold front. When you have warm air and a cold front comes through, you mix warm with cold and that brings precipitation.


How warm front forms?

Warm air moves over cold air and replaces it.


How cold front and warm front condition will affect people?

Cold Fronts can trigger storms that can lead to damage of homes, businesses, farming, etc., but so can a warm front. Cold Fronts can also trigger migraines, headaches, asthma attacks, joint pain, and severe allergy attacks to some people. It can also affect fishing which may be a major part of the ecomony in certain parts of the world. When it gets colder due to the cold front, the fish start to swim towards the bottom of the water. Warm Fronts also affects fishing. When it gets warm due to the cause of a warm front, the fish start to move to the top of the water where they can get plenty of sunlight. Since the fish are at the top of the lake it makes in 10x more easier to collect fish for economic growth and businesses.

Pressure differences between warm and cold air masses cause what?

Pressure differences between warm and cold air masses cause fronts or high/low pressure systems. A warm front is when a warm, moist air mass slides up and over a cold air mass, and a cold front is the opposite.

Can out of alignment front wheels cause damage to the brakes on 2006 Honda odyssey?

Not likely but it will wear the tires out.


A warm front is moving into an area that has cold dense air. what will the weather be?

Well, a warm front already indicates that warm air has risen over a cold air mass. So when that warm air meets an area of cold dense air, this signifies another warm front will occur. At this area of convergence, a warm front will bring rainy/wet weather.


What direction does a cold front go when it moves into a warm front?

When a cold front moves into a warm front, it typically undercuts the warm front and forces it aloft, resulting in the warm front being lifted off the ground. This process can lead to the formation of a stationary front or occluded front.

What weather is asscociated with a warm front?

Fog can occur during a warm front.


What type of weather do the 4 types of fronts cause?

A warm front brings warm air and typically results in steady precipitation. A cold front brings cold air and can cause brief, intense storms. A stationary front can lead to prolonged periods of precipitation and overcast conditions. An occluded front involves three air masses and can produce a mix of weather conditions, such as storms and precipitation.

What is an occlude front?

A cold front normally moves at twice the speed of a warm front. An occluded front forms when a cold front catches up with a warm front. Occluded fronts are of two types:1. Cold occlusion : If the airmass of the advancing cold front is colder than the cool airmass of the warm front, the advancing cold front undercuts and lifts both the warm and cool airmass of the warm front. The weather is initially warm front type but during the passage of front, showery weather of cold front occurs. This occlusion is common in summer. 2. Warm occlusion : When the airmass behind the advancing cold front is less colder (cool) than the cold airmass of the warm front ahead, the advancing cold front overrides the warm front ahead. The weather in such a case is similar to that of warm front. This type of occlusion occurs in winters and is less common.

What happens in a occluded front?

At the boundary lines of air masses with different densities and/or temperature. There are cold fronts, warm fronts and occluded fronts. Cold fronts usually move faster than warm fronts.
