A stationary front occurs when two air masses meet but don't move. It can result in prolonged periods of cloudy, rainy weather.

When a warm air mass pushes up a cold and slowly moves out of the way?

This phenomenon is called an occluded front. When a warm air mass is wedged between two colder air masses, it is lifted off the ground as the colder air masses advance, creating a boundary known as an occluded front. This can bring a mixture of precipitation and sometimes stormy weather.


What is it called when a huge mass of frozen water moves slowly?

That is called a glacier. Glaciers are large masses of ice and snow that move slowly downhill due to the force of gravity.


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.


What type of front moves the slowest?

A stationary front moves the slowest among different types of fronts. It is called stationary because the boundary between two air masses stays in one place and doesn't move much.


Which creatures moves slowly?

A slug moves slowly and so does a snail


Are masses the same as fronts?

No. An air mass is a large mass of air with given characteristics of temperature and humidity that distinguish it from surrounding air masses. A front is the boundary between two air masses. For example, a cold front marks were a cold air mass moves in and pushes a warmer one out of the way.


Describe the four major types of fronts?

1) Warm front - warm air mass replacing a cold air mass at ground level. Typically shifts wind southeasterly to southwesterly. 2) Cold front - Cold air replacing warm air at ground level. Tyoically shifts southwesterly to northwesterly 3) Stationary front - Equal amount of energy between warm and cold air masses creating a "stalemate".


How are cold fronts and warm fronts alike and how are they different?

They are both boundaries of differing air masses.
