Frontal Zone and Front

Air mass means a large body of air whose properties are essentially homogeneous. Front is the boundary or zone of transition between two air masses of different temperature or humidity, which thus differ in density. Frontal zone inclines to the cold air mass, the warm air climbs above the cold air, and the cold air inserts to the lower part of the warm air. Types of fronts include cold front, warm front and stationary front etc.
