Wind Fronts


Cold Front: I learned that a cold front is when warm air raises and causes clouds to form and the cold air still moves in underneath it.
Warm Front: There is a stationary cold front and a warm one moves in. The warm one pushes the colder one back creating clouds.
Stationary Front: There is both a warm and cold front moving at each other. They hit causing a stationary front causing clouds and precipitation to form.
Occluded Front: There are two cold fronts and one moving one. There is warm air above both of them creating clouds and precipitation.
