Answer:

Cold Front

Warm Front

Stationary Front

Occluded front

A cold front forms when a cold air mass pushes into a warmer air mass

A warm front forms when a warm air mass pushes into a cooler air mass

A stationary front forms when a cold front or warm front stops moving

At an occluded front, the cold air mass from the cold front meets the cool air that was ahead of the warm front

Answer:

Stationary Front, warm front, cold front, Occluded Front.

Explanation:

Stationary Front. When the surface position of a front does not change (when two air masses are unable to push against each other; a draw), a stationary front is formed.

cold front is the leading edge of a cooler mass of air at ground level that replaces a warmer mass of air and lies within a pronounced surface trough of low pressure. It often forms behind an extratropical cyclone (to the west in the Northern Hemisphere, to the east in the Southern), at the leading edge of its cold air advection pattern—known as the cyclone's dry "conveyor belt" flow. Temperature differences across the boundary can exceed 30 °C (86 °F) from one side to the other. When enough moisture is present, rain can occur along the boundary. If there is significant instability along the boundary, a narrow line of thunderstorms can form along the frontal zone. If instability is weak, a broad shield of rain can move in behind the front, and evaporative cooling of the rain can increase the temperature difference across the front. Cold fronts are stronger in the fall and spring transition seasons and weakest during the summer.

A warm front is a density discontinuity located at the leading edge of a homogeneous warm air mass, and is typically located on the equator-facing edge of an isotherm gradient. Warm fronts lie within broader troughs of low pressure than cold fronts, and move more slowly than the cold fronts which usually follow because cold air is denser and less easy to remove from the Earth's surface. This also forces temperature differences across warm fronts to be broader in scale. Clouds ahead of the warm front are mostly stratiform, and rainfall gradually increases as the front approaches. Fog can also occur preceding a warm frontal passage. Clearing and warming is usually rapid after frontal passage. If the warm air mass is unstable, thunderstorms may be embedded among the stratiform clouds ahead of the front, and after frontal passage thundershowers may continue. On weather maps, the surface location of a warm front is marked with a red line of semicircles pointing in the direction of travel.

In meteorology, an occluded front is a weather front formed during the process of cyclogenesis. The classical view of an occluded front is that they are formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front, such that the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the surface. The point where the warm front becomes the occluded front is called the triple point; a new area of low-pressure that develops at this point is called a triple-point low. A more modern view of the formation process suggests that occluded fronts form directly during the wrap-up of the baroclinic zone during cyclogenesis, and then lengthen due to flow deformation and rotation around the cyclone.

How frequently do most coastal areas experience high tides?
Alex777 [14]

It doesn't matter where you are.  "Tides" happen twice (hi - lo - hi - lo) in about 24 hours and 50 minutes.  Anywhere.

If it doesn't do two complete cycles in 24 hours 50 minutes, then it's not tide.

How does the latent heat of fusion of water help slow the decrease in air temperature,perhaps preventing temperatures from falli
love history [14]

Answer:

Water has the ability to release a large amount of energy during the freezing process. All of this energy is released into the air, resulting in a greater movement of air particles that will increase the air temperature. This heat will prevent air temperatures from drastically falling below 0ºC.

Explanation:

The latent heat of water occurs when the water is changing its physical state. In other words, when substances are changing their physical state, the amount of heat calculated for this change is called latent heat, and as we have already said, this heat is not related to the heat exchanges between two systems, but the change of state. physicist.

When water is changing from its liquid state to a solid state, we call latent heat latent heat from fusion (this is because fusion is the name we give to when liquid water is turning to ice). In the process of freezing the page, latent heat releases a large amount of energy into the air near the water. This energy agitates the air molecules, generating heat and preventing the air from reaching temperatures below 0ºC.
