Warm Front
is a warm front stable or unstable?
it travels up and over cooler air below. this causes tempature inversion with very stable.
what causes cold fronts?
when a cold, dense air mass pushes under a warm, lighter air mass, forcing the warm air to rise.
what happens when a stationary front moves in?
bring days of rain, drizzle, fog
What usually happens to cause an occluded front?
A warm air mass pushes into a colder air mass the warm front, and then another cold air mass pushes into the warm air mass the cold front.
how does high pressure affect us?
may affect mood and alter pain sensitivity
what is the approach of a warm front?
tempature and dew-point within the cold air gradually rise and pressure falls at an increasing rate
do cold fronts bring rain?
as the warm air is pushed, the moisture it carries condenses and falls as rain. this is why a lot of heavy rain is produced along a cold front.
do stationary fronts cause flooding?
precipitation can occasionally be long lasting which can increase the risk of flooding
What conditions do occluded fronts bring?
strong winds and heavy precipitation.
what causes high pressure on earth?
ascending and descending air
how fast do warm fronts move?
between 10 and 25 miles per hour
how fast does a cold front move?
25 to 30 miles per hour
how do stationary fronts last?
stationary fronts last several days
Does an occluded front bring rain?
An occluded front would likely bring rain or snow, depending on the air temperature.
does high pressure cause heat
High pressure in the middle layers of the atmosphere acts as a dome or cap, allowing heat to build up at the Earth's surface.
do warm fronts bring rain?
a warm air mass tends to bring with it plenty of rain and drizzle.
do cold fronts cause fogs?
it can occur with cold fronts as well only if its not moving too fast
do tornadoes form from stationary fronts?
tornadoes are most likely to occur when cold fronts meet warm fronts or stationary fronts.
How many fronts meet in an occluded front?
two fronts
how does a low pressure affect weather
cloudiness, wind, and precipitation.
what direction does a warm front move?
southwest and northeast
do cold fronts cause thunderstorms?
cold fronts are notoriously known for their bad weather such as thunderstorms tornadoes and heavy rain.
what is the direction of movement in a stationary front?
nearly parallel to the stationary front, often in opposite direction's along either side of the stationary front
What cloud does a occluded front make?v
cumulus type clouds
What do low pressure areas tend to?
create clouds and usually precipitation
