When warm water meets cold wind two distinct weather patterns can occur. First the water can cool the air creating a decrease in temperature. In this case the air is cooled by the evaporation of the warm water and the wind carries it away. Second the wind can act as a barrier preventing the warm water from cooling the air. The warm water is trapped by the cold wind causing a rise in temperature.

  • In the first case warm water cools the air creating a decrease in temperature.
  • In the second case the wind acts as a barrier trapping the warm water and causing a rise in temperature.

Is it true the border between 2 air masses may be either cold or warm fronts?

Yes, that is correct. When a cold air mass meets a warm air mass, it can form a cold front if the cold air mass advances and undercuts the warm air mass. Conversely, it can form a warm front if the warm air mass rises over the cold air mass as it advances.

Did the plesiosaur live in cold or warm water?

Plesiosaurs are believed to have lived in marine environments, ranging from temperate to tropical waters. Fossil evidence suggests that they inhabited both cold and warm waters during the Mesozoic era.


What happens at a cold front when cold air mass cathes up with and meets a warm air mass?

When a cold front occurs, a cold air mass moves in and meets a warm air mass, pushing the warm air upward due to its lower density. As the warm air rises, it cools and condenses, leading to the formation of clouds and often resulting in precipitation, such as rain or thunderstorms. The abrupt transition between the two air masses can cause a noticeable drop in temperature and changes in wind direction. This process typically creates a line of severe weather along the front.

What happens when a cold air mass meets and replaces a warm air mass?

When a cold air mass meets and replaces a warm air mass, it typically results in a cold front. As the cold air moves in, it wedges under the warm air, causing the warm air to rise rapidly. This can lead to the formation of clouds, precipitation, and sometimes severe weather like thunderstorms.
