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.
