1300 - What produces various changes in the weather at the front?

At the front (the boundary between two air masses), weather changes occur due to the differences in air masses.

Imagine two big air masses of different temperatures and humidity, meeting at the front. The warm air rises and cools down, creating clouds, rain, or even thunderstorms. The cold air pushes under the warm air and makes it rise even more. This clashing of air masses causes many changes in the weather.

These changes at the front can include: - Changes in temperature - Changes in humidity - Changes in wind direction and speed - Cloud formation - Precipitation, like rain, snow, or hail

These changes help shape the weather we experience on Earth.
