Weather Fronts Flashcard Review

A warm front is a boundary where warm air moves over cold air, often leading to gradual increases in temperature and light precipitation.

The air temperature decreases as cold air pushes under warm air.

Cold fronts are associated with thunderstorms and heavy rain as cold air pushes warm air up quickly.

A stationary front occurs when two air masses meet but neither is strong enough to replace the other, often leading to prolonged cloudy and rainy weather.

An occluded front forms when a cold front overtakes a warm front, causing complex weather patterns, often resulting in rain.

A warm front is typically found over Texas, bringing warmer temperatures and moisture.

When a cold front is moving through Tennessee, the weather is likely to be stormy with a drop in temperature.

Warm moist air is pushed up quickly during a cold front, leading to thunderstorms.

The expected weather in Ohio the day after a rainy day is likely to be rainy again.

A warm front typically leads to light, steady precipitation as warm air rises over cold air.
