Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An occluded front occurs when a cold front overtakes a warm front, which results in the two air masses mixing and creating an occluded front. This typically happens during mid-latitude cyclones or low-pressure systems. Option A is incorrect because two different air masses can overtake one another, but that would result in a boundary or a front between them. Option C is also incorrect because it describes the formation of a warm front instead of an occluded front. Option D is incorrect because it describes the formation of a cold front.
