When a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet, but they push at each other and neither one can move, it is called a/an - 

• warm front
• cold front
• occluded front
• stationary front

When a warm air mass is trapped between two cooler air masses, it is called a/an - 

• warm front
• cold front
• occluded front
• stationary front

The boundary between two air masses is called a/an - 

• flood
• front
• climate
• storm
