A cold air mass and a warm air mass meet, with neither moving.
During a stationary front the weather will stay the same for several days or more than a week. It depends on what type of front is making the other front stationary.

How are pressure measurements related to weather prediction

Decreasing pressure indicates stormy weather.

Increasing Pressure indicates better weather.

What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the poles

earths tilt (apex)

Why do bodies of water tend to moderate temperature swings from day to day

Water has a high heat capacity.

More rain generally falls on the what side of a mountain range

More rain generally falls on the windward side of a mountain range. This is because the air is being forced upward, where the water vapor cools and falls as rain.

Which type of the following is true of clouds at medium altitudes
