stationary fronts

a stationary front occurs when 2 equal air masses of cold ad warm air meet, they make storms and stay in place for a while.

occluded fronts

occluded fronts occur when 2 cold air masses surround a warm air mass. ground temperature cools down, and the warm air rises.

warm fronts

warm fronts occur when a larger mass of warm air collides with a mass of cold air. the warm air rises above the cold air mass, and slows everything down, and makes a lot of storms.

cold fronts

A cold front occurs when a mass of cold air slams into a mass of warm air, driving it up and making storms. these end the fastest.
