1 Weather Fronts

2 The boundary between 2 air masses that have different temperatures, humidity's, pressures.

3 Fronts – 4 types possible; 1. Cold Front: Cold air pushes under warm air forcing it up.

4 Warm air rises. Cold air replaces the warm air.

6 Violent storms are associated with cold fronts.

7 2. Warm Fronts: Warm air overtakes a cold air mass & moves over it.
