Front

The term 'Front' as it applies to the area of Earth observation can be defined as ' A boundary between two different air masses. The difference between two air masses sometimes is unnoticeable. But when the colliding air masses have very different temperatures and amounts of water in them, turbulent weather can erupt'.

The term 'Front' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' A boundary or transition zone between two air masses of different density, and thus (usually) of different temperature.
