the transfer of heat through fluid
What is convection

dictionary definition: the transition zone between two air masses of different density. Fronts extend not only in the horizontal direction but in the vertical as well. simple answer: the place where two air masses with different densities meet.

precipitation
What is the precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity, The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel, and hail ( YOUR ANSWER DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS COMPLICATED )
