Flashcards: Describe the motion of air masses

Coldfront

The image above depicts the motion of two air masses in what kind of front?

Your answer:

a warm front

Your answer:

an occluded front

Your answer:

a stationary front

Correct answer:

a cold front

Explanation:

The answer is "a cold front."

A cold front moves faster than a warm air mass. The warm humid air is pushed up and results in a short period of heavy rain and possibly violent thunderstorms.

A warm front moves slower than a cold air mass. The warm raises steadily above the cooler air mass and causes gentle rain showers for longer periods of time.

An occluded front is a combination of two fronts that form when a cold front catches up and overtakes a warm front. The result is a mix of rain showers and thunderstorms.

A stationary front is the boundary between two air masses when neither is moving. Clear skies to partly cloudy skies may result, with occasional light rain.
