When air of different temperature collides, the result is usually rainfall and sometimes a storm. A warm front is created when warm air meets cold air, and the warm air starts to rise over the cold air. As warm air rises, it begins to cool, and condensation occurs, resulting in rain clouds. When cold air moves towards warm air, the cold air moves underneath the warm, forcing it to rise very quickly (more quickly than a warm air front will rise). Because of the rapid rise of the warm air, it means it cools down more quickly, and the resultant rain clouds may turn into a storm.

Is fog a heterogeneous mixture?
No, fog is a natural occurance. It is caused from water droplets suspended in the air due to different temperatures close to the Earth.
Two vast areas of air have different temperatures and pressures but within the regions the temperatures and pressures are similar. The line where these regions are colliding is called a(n)?
Air masses or weather front is when two regions of air are colliding and they have different temperatures and pressures are similar.
What forms when a warm air mass collides with a cold air mass?
thunderstorm
Convection currents form when air temperatures are?
This happens when the are different .
A mass of warm air rises when it collides with a mass of cold air What is this process called?
Frontal wedging
What is the line called where two regions of air collide?
The line where two region of air collides is called a weather front. They usually have different temperatures but the pressures are similar.

No, fog is a natural occurance. It is caused from water droplets suspended in the air due to different temperatures close to the Earth.
How does unequal heating relate to the formation of tornadoes?
Unequal heating leads to air masses of different temperatures. When a cool air mass collides with a warm, moist air mass thunderstorms often form. Under the right conditions these thunderstorms can produce tornadoes.
What causes unsettled weather and storms to brew?
Storms are caused by the collision of air masses that have different temperatures and humidities.
Two vast areas of air have different temperatures and pressures but within the regions the temperatures and pressures are similar. The line where these regions are colliding is called a(n)?
Air masses or weather front is when two regions of air are colliding and they have different temperatures and pressures are similar.
When a warm air mass collides with a cold air mass what is the border between the two air mass is called?
The location where two different air masses meet is called a front.
What forms when a warm air mass collides with a cold air mass?
thunderstorm
Convection currents form when air temperatures are?
This happens when the are different .
What high altitude winds caused by temperatures differences between air masses?
global winds
What is the flow of air in a loop caused by differences in temperatures and pressure called?
It's called wind.
How do you separate air's gasses?
Lower the temperature. Different parts will liquify and freeze at different temperatures.
Why does intensity of sunlight affect weather?
Sunlight is a kind of fuel for thunderstorms. The warm air causes an updraft when it collides with cold air. Also, sunlight intensity affects the temperature. That is why the temperatures at the equator are usually high because the places near the equator get direct sunlight.
