Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stationary front occurs when two air masses with different characteristics (such as temperature or humidity) meet but neither one is strong enough to push the other one out of the way. The winds on both sides of the front may still be blowing, but they are parallel to the front rather than against each other. This results in the air masses staying in place and the front remaining stationary.
