Warm Fronts
Forms when a warm air mass follows a cold air mass.
How does a warm front form?
Bringing heavy snow or rain.
What type of weather does cold fronts cause?
Stationary fronts usually cause many days of clear weather.
What type of weather do stationary fronts cause?
Clouds are made up of water droplets or ice crystals.
What are clouds made up of?
Air masses are when a large volume of air in which temperature and moisture are nearly the same throughout.
Can air masses only form in a large volume of air?
It forms drizzily rain follows by warm weather.
What type of weather do warm fronts cause?
Cooler weather comes from this front.
What type of weather does cold fronts cause?
Stationary front usually cause many days of unchanging weather.
What type of weather do stationary fronts cause?
Cloud that are made up of entirely ice crystals are middle/high clouds.
How high are clouds that are made up entirely of ice crystals or water droplets?
An air mass forms when air over a large region of earth stays in one place for many days.
Do air masses have to form over a large region of earth?
Warm Fronts only cause warm weather.
Do Warm Fronts ever cause cold weather?
Storms that form along a cold front are usually short.
How do cold fronts affect weather?
Stationary fronts are called stationary because they do not let the air masses to move.
Why is it called a stationary front?
Cloud that are closer to Earth's surface are called fog.
What are clouds that are closer to Earth's surface called?
Air masses are when the temperature and the moisture are nearly the same throughout.
Do the temperature and the moisture have to be the same throughout to make a air mass?
Warm air rises over the cold air.
How do warm fronts form?
Storms that form near a cold front are short-lived, but move quickly.
How do cold fronts affect storms?
Two air masses remain in one place.
How do stationary fronts form?
To form a cloud there has to be moisture in the air.
Do clouds only form when there is moisture?
An air mass forms when the air over a large region of earth stays in one area for many days.
How do air masses form?
Warm air rises over cold air, and its moisture condenses.
How do warm fronts form?
Warm air is less dense than cold air, so a cold air mass that is moving can quickly push up a warm air mass.
How a cold air mass forms?
There is not enough wind for there is not enough room for cold or warm air masses to keep moving.
What is a stationary front?
A cloud is a collection of water droplets suspended in the air?
What is a cloud?
A air mass is a large volume of air in which temperature and moisture content are nearly the same throughout.
