Hello. You must be here because of your teacher and school. Here is a joke to keep you entertained: Why did the egg not want to hear any jokes? He would get cracked up!
Hello Pl4rk. It's because of the different densities of the warm and cold air. Warm air is less dense than cold air and rides over the top of the denser cold air. You can see a demonstration of how this works in our video 'Weather experiment - Weather fronts'
Actually you can kind of tell a cold front approaching when strong blustery Southery winds occurs. This wind will suddenly swift to a colder northery winds
Hello Swargate. We have a video explaining hurricanes, typhoons and tropical cyclones if that's what you're after? You can find it in our Met Office Education playlist.
I have a question. Why is it that warm and cold air don't merge? I understand the water and oil analogy, but that's something completely different isn't it?
a warm front is warm and humid, bringing light and drizzly rain for a long time, a cold front is cold and brings heavy and stormy weather and typically leaves an area with high pressure air afterwards (good weather after the storm)
This was a great study source and even though I live in America I still used it and got a 100 on my final! Thank you Met Office for making school a better place. It was only on fronts, but still. It would have been hard but I zipped through it and my teacher thought I was cheating!😄😄😄😄😄😄 thank you again!
it really did! after this video i saw some other ones that you guys made like the "weather front experiment" i didn't understand anything until i saw this video and it really helped during the test, pretty sure i aced it and thats a big deal for me because i usually dont do so well lol. thanks again!
