Weather Front Types

There are 4 types of weather fronts.

Cold:A cold front occurs when a cold air mass moves under a warm air mass causing the warm air to rise.

Warm: A warm front happens when a slow warm air mass collides with a slow cold mass. The warm air rises and cold air shrinks.

Stationary: A stationary front happens when a massive cold front collides with a massive warm front and neither can gain more round then the other.

Occluded: An occluded happens when a cold front meets another cold front and a warm front is caught in between and get cut off from the ground.
