Occluded front
When a warm air mass and a cold air mass stall and remain stationary over an area, it is called a stationary front. This can lead to persistent and prolonged periods of weather, often bringing extended periods of precipitation or clear skies depending on the location of the front.
When a warm front meets a cold front but neither is strong enough to take over the other, it is called a stationary front. This results in prolonged periods of cloudy and wet weather as the two air masses remain stalled in place.
Cold front
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.
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.

Occluded front
climate change
When a cold front overtakes a warm front, it is known as an occluded front. This occurs when the cold air behind the cold front catches up with the warm air ahead of the warm front, forcing the warm air upward.
That's called an 'occluded' front.
Stationary Front
Stationary Front
When a warm air mass and a cold air mass stall and remain stationary over an area, it is called a stationary front. This can lead to persistent and prolonged periods of weather, often bringing extended periods of precipitation or clear skies depending on the location of the front.
Air masses that are cold and forms over polar regions is polar. A cold front occurs when a cold air mass meets and displaces a warm air mass. A front that forms when a warm air mass is trapped between cold air masses and forced to rise is called a occluded front.
When a warm front meets a cold front but neither is strong enough to take over the other, it is called a stationary front. This results in prolonged periods of cloudy and wet weather as the two air masses remain stalled in place.
This is a warm front.
When a warm air mass moves into an area where a cold air mass is located, it is called a warm front. At a warm front, the warm air mass rises over the cold air mass, leading to gradual temperature increases and cloud formation.
