The image depicts the motion of two air masses in what kind of front?
The image depicts the motion of two air masses in what kind of front?
The answer is "a warm 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.
