In meteorology, a front is a boundary between two air masses, which can't mix each other due to their properties like their temperature, their pressure and their relative humidity. A front is associated with a low pressure system, a system where the atmospheric pressure is lower than the surrounding areas. There are several types of fronts, which have different properties in the cloud and precipitation formation such as the warm fronts, the cold fronts, the stationary fronts, the occluded fronts and some others. A warm front is a type of meteorological front where the warm air mass comes up on the cold air mass. The warm, light and dilated air goes over the cold, heavy and dense air. The warm front is associated with covered weather and sometimes rainy, usually with high clouds such as cirrus which will become nimbostratus or altostratus. A warm front is associated with warm, cloudy weather (sometimes moderated rainy) and with an atmospheric pressure decreasing progressively. A cold front is a type of meteorological front where the cold air mass comes down under the warm air mass. The cold, heavy and dense air goes under the warm, light and dilated air. The cold front is generally associated with cirrocumulus and altocumulus and the clouds are rarely high in the sky. Behing a cold front, there is clear skies and sunny weather because there is usually a high pressure system behind a cold front. But clear skies also follow warm fronts. Cold fronts tend to move faster than warm fronts because the cold air is denser than the warm air and is harder to move. Globally, all the fronts are associated by a change in the weather, which is more brutal in cold fronts than in warm fronts.

How do defined terms and undefined terms relate to each other?

Defined terms in a subject are terms that have specific meanings assigned to them within that subject, while undefined terms are terms that are not explicitly defined but are fundamental concepts in that subject. In mathematics, for example, undefined terms like point, line, and plane are used to build the foundation of geometric concepts, while defined terms like circle and triangle are derived from these fundamental concepts. Therefore, defined terms are constructed based on the fundamental understanding of undefined terms in a subject.
