🔍 Key Concepts

• Typical cloud progressions that indicate different types of fronts • How warm fronts and cold fronts generally appear on satellite and to observers at sea • The relationship between high-level ice-crystal clouds (cirrus) and approaching weather systems

💭 Think About

• Think about which type of front usually brings a gradual thickening and lowering of cloud layers over many hours before steady rain begins. • Ask yourself: does a fast‑moving, sharp weather change front usually start with high wispy clouds and slowly build, or does it more often bring abrupt changes with towering clouds? • Consider which front is typically associated with widespread, steady rain and layered clouds rather than brief, intense showers with big cumulonimbus.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which front is most often linked to layered clouds (stratus-type) and steady rain rather than showery precipitation. • Match the given sequence—cirrus → cirrostratus → altostratus → rain—to the classic textbook description of one specific front type. • Eliminate any front types that are better known for little movement or for mixed or complex structures rather than a clean, gradual cloud progression.
