Air-entraining concretes. All normal concrete contains some air, usually between 0.5 and 1.0%. By the addition of a small amount of an air-entraining agent, the amount of air contained in the concrete may be materially increased to 10% or more (by volume) if desired. This extra air is present in the form of small, discrete air bubbles, which have a marked effect upon the workability, durability, and strength of the concrete. 2, record 9, English, - air%2Dentrained%20concrete

A cold front occurs when a cold air mass moves into an area occupied by a warmer air mass. Moving at an average speed of about 20 mph, the heavier cold air moves in a wedge shape along the ground.

A warm front occurs when a warm air mass moves into an area occupied by a colder air mass. The warm air is lighter; so it flows up the slope of the cold air below it. Warm fronts usually form on the eastern sides of low pressure systems, create wide areas of clouds and rain, and move at an average speed of 15 mph. 3, record 13, English, - warm%20front

A warm occluded front occurs when a cool front overtakes a warm front overlying a cold front. The primary difference is the location of the upper level front. The cold front is ahead of the surface occluded front. In this case the weather is similar to a warm front. The surface front trails the upper level front by about 300 km. 1, record 15, English, - warm%20occluded%20front

Un front occlus chaud a lieu lorsqu'un front frais pousse un front chaud qui était au-dessus d’un front froid. Ce front frais s’élève lui aussi au-dessus de la masse d’air plus froide, en forçant le front chaud à s’élever davantage. Dans ce cas, ce front-ci(le plus froid) est plus avancé que le front occlus au niveau de la surface, de l'ordre de 300 km en avant.

The dry-line is an area where the relatively dry air from the west that has passed over the Rocky Mountains and warmed by compression, butts up against and flows over very warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. This boundary may also be referred to as the dew point front because dew point temperatures can change as much as 9°C/km. This boundary can occur as far north as the Dakotas, and as far east as the Texas-Louisiana border, but are most common on the east side of the Rockies. As surface winds converge east of the dry-line, lifting occurs, leading to thunderstorm development. 2, record 17, English, - dry%20line
