Cloud Fronts

Cold Fronts: Cold fronts is when all the cold air comes toward the hot air. When they touch a cloud starts to form and all the warm air goes above the cold air. It rains from west to east.

Warm Fronts: All the hot or warm air comes toward the cold air and when they touch they form a cloud. The hot or warm air goes on top of the cold air like cold fronts. It rains from East to west.

Stationary Front: The cold and warm air comes towards each other and collide. Then they stay in the same spot because they can't go over the other. A cloud forms in between them and stays there. It rains in one spot.

Occlude Front: All the cold air goes over the cold and warm air. It is a new layer. A cloud forms in the cold air and like all the other it rains after some time.
