What is a warm front?
200
mid level clouds
What are alto/cumulus clouds
200
when a cloud reaches its dew point in freezing temperatures
What is snow
300
when a second front joins into a pre-existing front
What is an occluded front
300
low lying clouds
What Nimbus and stratus clouds
300
when a cloud reaches its dew point at abocve freezing, and as the rain falls it hits air that is below freezing.
What is sleet?
400
when two fronts of equal force push against eachother.
What is a stationary front
400
a particle in the air which water vapor condenses around, creating clouds

What is the symbol of a stationary front?
500
Thwe point where the air gets cool enough to condense and cause the cloud to reach capacity, and precipitate
What is dew point?
500
When sleet is pulled back into the atmosphere, and unfreezes, gains mass, falls, freezes, is pulled back up (convection) untill it gains too much mass and falls to earth.
