An _____ front occurs when a cold air mass from the cold front meets the cool air that was ahead of the warm front. The warm air rises as these air masses come together. The warm air is pushed up and cut off from the ground.

A _____ front occurs when a cold air mass and a warm air mass meet but they cannot move each other.

A _____ front occurs when a warm air mass overtakes a cold air mass and pushes the cold air mass out.
