                                    The analysis of high-resolution H-alpha and white-light observations on
the emergence of 73 active regions shows an intrinsically different
behavior for both the large and small ones. The small active regions
(magnetic flux of approximately 5 x 10 to the 21st Mx) display circular
structures of supergranular size with pores only at the borders, whereas
the large active regions show elongated structures with pores which
develop at the center and later migrate towards the extremes. These
observations are used to suggest two different models for the emergence
of these two kinds of active regions: the small ones are produced by the
superficial convective concentration of loosely packed flux and the
large ones are the result of tightly wound flux ropes.
