🔍 Key Concepts

• Frontal systems and how they form between air masses • The difference between cold, warm, stationary, and occluded fronts • What it means when there is no horizontal motion between two air masses

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens when a cold air mass actively moves into a warm air mass—what is that type of front called? • Now consider the specific clue in the question: both air masses meet, but neither one is advancing. Which type of front describes that situation? • Eliminate any options that require one air mass to be overtaking or replacing another.

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the key phrase "no horizontal motion" with the correct front type definition. • Verify which front type involves a boundary where neither air mass is moving forward significantly. • Confirm that you are not choosing a front type that involves one air mass lifting or overtaking the other (that would not fit the question).
