When two air masses of different temperatures/pressures come together…

The warm air will always sink below the cooler air

They become one type of air system

They do not mix causing unsettled (not nice) weather.

They will always remain where they meet until one loses energy

The type of weather conditions that can be expected at all weather fronts is….

Cloudy

Precipitation

Unsettled (not sunny/not nice)

All of the choices are correct

Match the general characteristics of each front with the front they belong with.
***NOTE- There are 4 columns. Scroll right and left to view all.

	Cold Front	Warm Front	Stationary Front	Occluded Front
This front stalls over an area causing precipitation and clouds that can last for days.
Short periods of stormy weather; Cooler drier air is remains after this front has passed
Least common air mass; Severe weather occurs
Warm, humid air remains after the front has passed.

Match the name of each weather front with the picture that best represents it. "Pinch" the screen to expand the picture if you need to see it better.
