Wind is the result of pressure differences. These pressure differences can arise in a number of ways, including at fronts, where air masses meet.

What is the boundary where unlike air masses meet but do not easily mix?

A front is where air masses meet but don't mix, but only a stationary front is one where the air masses then don't move. A stationary front is when cold air meets warm air, but they do not advance toward or pass each other. The weather will be light wind and precipitation. Eventually, overtime, ONE air mass(Cold or Warm), will take over.
