Q

When cold air displaces warm air, you have which type of front?

🔍 Key Concepts

• The direction of movement of cold air compared to warm air • How fronts are named in basic meteorology • Differences between cold front, warm front, stationary front, and occluded front

💭 Think About

• Think about which type of front is defined by colder, denser air moving in and pushing under warmer air. • Ask yourself: are fronts named after the air mass that is advancing or retreating? • Consider what happens when neither air mass moves much, and when one type of air mass overtakes another.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which type of front forms when cold air is advancing and replacing warm air. • Eliminate the option that describes little or no movement between air masses. • Review what an occluded front involves (hint: interaction of cold, warm, and sometimes cooler air ahead).
