Cold Front- This occurs when cold air is moving very fast so it runs into slowly moving warm air. Then the warm air rises and creates big cumulonimbus, or storm clouds.
Stationary Front-This occurs when warm and cold air meet in the same place then the water vapor from both the fronts rise up and condenses into rain,snow or clouds.
Warm Front-This occurs when warm and cold air move in the same direction then the warm air rises and makes more storms occur.
Occluded Front-This occurs when two cool air masses intertwine with warm air masses. Then the warm air rises and the cool air is pushed downward.
