Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frontal uplift occurs along the boundary of contrasting bodies of air, such as when a warm air mass meets a cold air mass, leading to the warmer, less dense air being forced upwards over the cooler, denser air. This process is a key mechanism in the formation of precipitation and various types of weather fronts.
