Fronts Chapter 25 Section 2 EQ: What are some of the possible outcomes from fronts coming together?

Section 25.2 Objectives Compare the characteristic weather patterns of cold fronts with those of warm fronts. Describe how a midlatitude cyclone forms. Describe the development of hurricanes, thunderstorms, and tornadoes.

Fronts A cool air mass is dense and does not mix with the less-dense air of a warm air mass. a front is a boundary that forms between air masses. Middle-latitude weather changes usually take place along the various types of fronts. Fronts do not exist in the Tropics because no air masses that have significant temperature differences exist there.

Cold & Warm Fronts cold front the front edge of a moving mass of cold air that pushes beneath a warmer air mass like a wedge If the warm air is moist, clouds will form. warm front the front edge of advancing warm air mass that replaces colder air with warmer air A warm front generally produces precipitation over a large area and may cause violent weather.

Stationary and Occluded Fronts stationary front a front of air masses that moves either very slowly or not at all occluded front a front that forms when a cold air mass overtakes a warm air mass and lifts the warm air mass off the ground and over another air mass

Polar Fronts The boundary where cold polar air meets the tropical air mass of the middle latitudes, especially over the ocean, is called the polar front. Waves commonly develop along the polar front. A wave is a bend that forms in a cold front or stationary front.

Wave Cyclones midlatitude cyclone an area of low pressure that is characterized by rotating wind that moves toward the rising air of the central low-pressure region Waves are the beginnings of low-pressure storm centers called midlatitude cyclones or wave cyclones. These cyclones strongly influence weather patterns in the middle latitudes.

Wave Cyclones

Thunderstorms thunderstorm a usually brief, heavy storm that consists of rain, strong winds, lightning, and thunder T-storms develop in three distinct stages. The t-storm dissipates as the supply of water vapor decrease.

Lightning During a t-storm, clouds discharge electricity in the form of lightning. The released electricity heats the air, and the air rapidly expands and produces a loud noise known as thunder. For lightning to occur, the clouds must have areas that carry distinct electrical charges.

Hurricanes hurricane a severe storm that develops over tropical oceans and whose strong winds of more than 120 km/h spiral in toward the intensely low-pressure storm center A hurricane begins when warm, moist air over the ocean rises rapidly. When moisture in the rising warm air condenses, a large amount of energy in the form of latent heat is released. This heat increases the force of the rising air.

Tornadoes tornado a destructive, rotating column of air that has very high wind speeds and that maybe visible as a funnel-shaped cloud The smallest, most violent, and shortest-lived severe storm is a tornado. A tornado forms when a thunderstorm meets high-altitude horizontal winds. These winds cause the rising air in the thunderstorm to rotate.
