When a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet and no movement occurs what type of front results?
Stationary Fronts and Dry Lines When warm and cold air masses meet and form a stationary boundary or front, there is no further movement from either one.
When a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet and neither can move each other usually causes rain for several days the result is a N?
Warm fronts usually produce rain, fog, snow that is light but steady. After the warm front moves through, warmer and milder weather follows. Sometimes two air masses meet and neither one takes over. This is called a stationary front.
What is formed when cold air masses and warm air masses meet and remain in the same place?
In other words, a cold front is right at the leading edge of moving cold air and a warm front marks the leading edge of moving warm air. When two air masses meet together, the boundary between the two is called a weather front. One air mass is lifted above the other, creating a low pressure zone.
When a cold air mass moves into a warm air mass it will get colder and we will have severe weather?
Fronts

When a cold air mass moves into a warm air mass, it will get colder and we will have severe weather. What type of front is this? | cold front |
When a warm air masses gently slides on top of a cold air mass, and you have drizzly rain and then beautiful sunny weather, what front is it? | warm front |
When a cold and warm air mass meet but neither can move the other rainy days may last week or more?
stationary front
Answer Key/Rubric. A stationary front occurs when a cold and warm air mass meet, but neither has enough force to move the other. Water vapor in the warm air condenses and forms precipitation. An occluded front occurs when a warm air mass is caught between two cold air masses.
