what direction is vertical?

• up and down

• left and right

what are warm fronts?

• Warm fronts are when the warm air of a warm front will rise over the cooler air at the surface due to its lower density.

• Warm fronts are when the warm air of a warm front will rise over the hotter air at the surface due to its high density.

• Warm fronts are when the cold air is more dense than warm air and as a result, it pushes the warm air vertically ahead of it as it moves.

• Warm fronts are when the warm air is more dense than warm air and as a result, it pushes the warm air vertically ahead of it as it moves.
