What type of front does this symbol represent?
warm front
cold front
stationary front
occluded front
The cold front is moving
east and southeast
west and northwest
north
south
Why do you see precipitation near the L? (select 2 answers)
because that is low pressure and that is where air rises, forming clouds
because that is where air is falling and it brings rain with it
because southern Ohio is always rainy this time of year
because the cold front is meeting the warm front which forces warm air to rise rapidly forming clouds
You would expect to see clouds forming and possible precipitation
in Utah (the H)
in Florida
in Nebraska (between the H and the L)
in Indiana
When a cold front moves in
it forces warm air to rise rapidly creating big clouds and likely rain
it pushes against warm air and becomes a stationary front
the cold air goes above the warm air causing a clear sky
it forms a wedge and the warm air slowly rises and may form small clouds
