What are air masses bend at boundaries to form?

The boundaries between air masses are called front. The types of
air mass and movements involved determine the type of front.
Warm front: a warm air mass plows into a cold air mass.
Cold front: a cold air mass plows into a warm air mass.
Stationary front: The warm and cold air masses move little
relative to one another.
Occluded front: A cold front catches up with a warm front,
sending the warm air mass aloft.
Dry line: a dry air mass plows into a moist air mass.

When does a cold front occur?
Asked in Meteorology and Weather
Describe the formation a warm front?

Fronts are associated with cyclones, or areas of low pressure,
and occur when cold air masses meet warm ones (1). The circulation
of the Earth's atmosphere causes the cold air to move eastwards and
equatorwards (2) and the warm air to move eastwards and polewards
in a wedge shape called the warm sector (3). This movement causes
the front to buckle (4), with a warm front to the east, where the
leading edge of the warm sector is replacing cold air, and a cold
front to the west (5). Because cold air moves faster than warm air,
the warm sector is gradually squeezed and the front occludes and
decays (6).
Asked in Meteorology and Weather, Clouds
What front is created when warm air and cold air collide?

That depends. If the cold air pushes into the warm air, moving
it out of the way it is called a cold front. If the cold air
retreats with warm air coming in to to replace it, the front is a
warm front. if the two air masses come together along a boundary
that does not move the result is a stationary front.
Asked in Science, Meteorology and Weather
What is a stationary front a warm front a cold front and an occluded front?

A stationary front marks the boundary between
a warm air mass and a cold air mass where neither air mass advances
or retreats.
A warm front is a boundary where the cooler
air mass retreats and the warmer air mass advances.
A cold front is where the cooler air mass
advances, forming the warmer air mass up.
An occluded front is where a cold front has
caught up with a warm front, forcing the entire warm air mass
up.

Does cold air fall?
Asked in Meteorology and Weather
What is the difference between a cold front a warm front a occluded front and a stationary front?

A warm front occurs when cooler air retreats and warmer air
advances.
A cold front occurs when cooler air advances, pushing warmer air
away.
An occluded front occurs when a cold front catches up with a
warm front, sending the warmer air aloft.
A stationary front occurs when warm and cold air meet, but
neither air mass advances.
