Describe a stationary front and an occluded front
What will be an ideal response?
A stationary front occurs where the flow on both sides of a front is neither toward the warm air mass nor the cold air mass but, instead, is nearly parallel to the line of the front. An occluded front occurs when an active cold front overtakes a warm front. Complex weather results from this occurrence.
