What front happens when cold and warm front come together and remain in the same place for several days?

Stationary front


What will happend to the temperature once an occluded front moves through?

The cold air mass from the cold front meets the cool air that was ahead of the warm front. The warm air rises as these air masses come together.


Does precipitation come before or after a warm front?

Not normally before a warm front, precipitation comes before and after a cold front. When you have warm air and a cold front comes through, you mix warm with cold and that brings precipitation.


Does the precipitation associated with a cold front come before or after the front?

The precipitation generally occurs before the front moves in.


Would a warm front or cold front bring hail and tornadoes?

Contrary to the common layperson's explanation, tornadoes are not triggered by the collision of a warm front and a cold front. This is based on a misreading of the statement that tornadoes form from a collision of warm and cold air masses along a cold front, which is itself an oversimplification. The front itself does not directly trigger tornadoes. When a warm and cold air mass collide, the warm air is forced up because it is less dense. If this warmer air mass is unstable enough, the collision can trigger strong thunderstorms. This is a very common occurrence, and most of the resulting storms will not produce tornadoes. If the storms are strong enough and wind conditions are right, these storms may then develop the strong rotation needed to produce tornadoes.

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.

When a rapidly moving cold air mass runs into a slow moving warm air mass what is the result?

A cold front is formed. Yes a cold front is formed, but this could also come to mean that a cold front overtakes a warm front which means a new front would be formed called an occluded front.

Does precipitation come before or after a cold front?

Precipitation usually comes before or during the passage of a cold front.


How are tornadoes affected by temperature?

When you have a hot front and a cold front that come together, it creates a tornado. its just like when you have small ''tornados'' of leaves. That is caused by two wind currents coming at each other.

Type of rays that come together?

The type of rays that come together are called convergent rays.


How did the continents come together?

Continental drift is the theory that explains how the Earth's continents have moved over time due to the process of plate tectonics. About 300 million years ago, all the continents were part of a supercontinent called Pangaea. Over time, the movement of tectonic plates has separated and repositioned the continents to their current locations.
