What does relative humidity do as the temperature decreases?

As temperature decreases, relative humidity increases.** Related Information:This is why a cold front often causes precipitation as it moves through an area.


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.


When a rapidly moving cold air mass overtakes a slow moving warm air mass the results are?

The cold air mass forces the warm air mass to rise rapidly, creating a sharp boundary known as a cold front. Thunderstorms and heavy precipitation may occur along the cold front as the warm air is lifted and condensed. Temperature and humidity levels typically drop as the cold front passes.


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.


What does a moving front mean?

A moving front refers to the boundary between two air masses with different temperature, humidity, or density. As the front moves, it can cause changes in weather conditions, such as precipitation, temperature changes, and shifts in wind direction. Different types of fronts include cold fronts, warm fronts, stationary fronts, and occluded fronts.

What happens when a warm front moves into a cold front?

When a warm front moves into a cold front, the warm air gradually rises over the denser cold air. This can lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation. The warm air displaces the cold air, leading to a gradual increase in temperature and humidity.


When a cold front moves by a location what happens to the temperature?

The temperature decreases.

How does temperature and humidity help create your weather?

obviously the temperature affects how cold or hot the area is....


What are the general atmospheric conditions behind a cold front?

Behind a cold front, you can expect cooler temperatures, lower humidity levels, and clearing skies as the front passes. Winds typically shift to the northwest and can be gusty, leading to a sharp drop in temperature. There may also be the possibility of showers or thunderstorms along and ahead of the front.


What is warm sector?

The area of warm air that lies between a warm front and a cold front. Once the warm front passes the temperature will rise and the skies will clear up. The humidity of the air will increase and continue to do so as the cold front approaches Winds will begin to grow and clouds will gain height and grow bigger as the cold front gets nearer. hope that helps :P :)

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.


Is there a cold front in tropics?

Yes. The type of front has to do with the difference in temperature between two areas, not the actual temperature. If it was 120° in an area and a front moved in that was 100° it would be a cold front.


What happens to air masses at a cold front?

As warm air is lifted over advancing cold air, itself cooled as its pushed away from gravity's pull at the Earth's surface, the water will begin to condense into clouds and precipitation will form, usually of the "showers and thunderstorms" variety.


What happens to an area's temperature when a cold front passes?

The pressure is always lowest at the frontal boundary, whether warm or cold. ______________________________________________________________________ The pressure would decrease since warm fronts are found at the front of low pressure systems. Pressure can also decrease at the warm and cold frontal boundaries just like the previous answer states, but can only increase when the cold front passes.
