Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: Cold fronts move faster than warm fronts.

Statement 2 is incorrect: Stationary fronts have characteristics of warm fronts, not the cold fronts . Supplementary notes: Fronts

ese are boundaries that separate two masses of air with different temperatures, humidities and densities. The type of front that forms depends on the direction of fl ow of the air mass and its characteristics.

Cold fronts

When cold air replaces warm air, a cold front results. As warm air rises and cools, its water vapor condenses with cloud formation. The rain resulting from cold fronts is short lived and heavy, generally affecting a distance of about 50 miles as the front moves on.

Cold fronts blow over areas faster than other types of fronts, producing some of the most violent thunderstorms that move with the front while maintaining their intensity.

Warm Fronts

Warm fronts move more slowly and are less violent than cold fronts. They are associated with warm air moving over cold air and are more likely to produce large regions of light to moderate rain, drizzle or snow.

Cirrus clouds and alto cumulus, along with fog, often precede warm fronts as they move through an area. The milder weather that follows will be warmer in temperature.

Stationary Fronts

They are formed when warm and cold air masses meet and form a stationary boundary or front, there is no further movement from either one.

Their characteristics are similar to warm fronts.

Occluded Front

This is a weather front formed during the process of cyclogenesis, when a cold front overtakes a warm front.

When this occurs, the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the Earth’s surface.
