what is a weather front?
a weather front is a boundary separating two areas of air that have different densities.
there are four types of weather fronts: cold, warm, stationary, and occluded.
there are four types of weather fronts: cold, warm, stationary, and occluded.
cold front
A cold front is when a cooler air mass replaces a warmer air mass,which lies within a surface of low pressure. the cause of a
cold front is that the air mass is noticeably colder, and it pushes out the warmer air.
the effect of a cold front is the dropping of humidity and temperature. cold fronts commonly cause precipitation.

warm front
a warm front is an area of moving warm air, in particular the leading edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system. a warm front is caused when a mass of warm air replaces a mass of cold air. the effect of a warm front is increasing rainfall. different kinds of precipitation is the weather associated with a warm front.
stationary front
a stationary front is an area that separates two different masses of air, when they are both equally strong.the cause is warm and cold air masses together that move barely at all. stationary fronts cause weather events such as thunderstorms, rain, and heavy winds. stationary fronts could change into a warm or cold front if the wind direction changes.
