A cold air mass, being heavier, acts like a wedge and tends to underrun a warm air mass. Thus, the cold air is below and the warm air is above the surface of discontinuity. 4, record 1, English, - surface%20of%20discontinuity

Entre deux masse d'air dont les propriétés sont différentes, il existe une zone de transition, appelée zone frontale, dont l'épaisseur varie de quelques décamètres à quelques hectomètres, et dans laquelle les éléments météorologiques passent rapidement de leur valeur dans l'une des masses d'air à leur valeur dans l'autre. À l'échelle des cartes météorologiques, on peut assimiler cette zone à une surface, à laquelle on donne le nom de surface de discontinuité. Ces surfaces sont plus ou moins inclinées par rapport à la verticale, elles coupent donc le sol suivant des lignes auxquelles on donne le nom de fronts. [...] On distingue les surfaces de discontinuité de front chaud et les surfaces de discontinuité de front froid. 3, record 1, French, - surface%20de%20discontinuit%C3%A9
