Discussion
Which typical slope does a mid-latitude front have?
Answer: B
Cold fronts slope at roughly 1 in 50 to 1 in 100 and warm fronts more gently at about 1 in 200, so a frontal surface reaching 5 kilometres lies several hundred kilometres behind its surface position. This gentle slope is why warm front cloud extends so far ahead of the surface front. A slope of 1 in 10 would be dynamically unsustainable and 1 in 1000 would produce no recognisable front at all.
