when to air masses meet it's called a front.


What is inter tropical convergence zone?

This is the 'convergence' or meeting point of two air masses in between the two tropics. This is the point where the two Hadley cells meet. This is marked by an area of low pressure.


What is the place were two air masses of different temperatures or moisture content meet?

a front is a meeting place between two air masses


What is the difference between pressure and fronts?

Pressure is the amount of air in one location which varies depending on temperature and other factors. You get high pressure when the air falls and low pressure when the air rises. However,there are different temperatures of air at lower levels of the atmosphere and where these air "masses" as they are called meet, you get a weather front. They do affect each other - low pressure systems (depressions) have different air masses entangled into it and therefore there are fronts in low pressures. Depressions also generally move around and between high pressures (anticyclones) and so high pressures do not move around as much as depressions. Pressure and fronts are often shown on the same weather image and the lines are called isobars which are lines of equal pressure. A front is where two air masses meet. Pressure is the amount of air.
