Read each question carefully and provide detailed answers based on your knowledge of weather fronts.
1. Which type of weather front is characterized by cold air displacing warm air, often leading to a sudden drop in temperature and intense, short-lived precipitation?
Warm front
Cold front
Stationary front
Occluded front
2. When a warm air mass slowly glides over a cooler air mass, it forms a front, often bringing widespread, light precipitation.
3. A front occurs when two air masses meet but neither advances, resulting in prolonged periods of consistent weather.
4. Describe the process of an occluded front forming and the typical weather conditions associated with it.
5. Air pressure typically rises after the passage of a cold front.
True
False
Match each weather front characteristic with the correct front type.
6. Narrow band of intense storms
a. Warm Front
7. Gradual temperature increase
b. Cold Front
8. Prolonged drizzle and fog
c. Stationary Front
