Answer 1

Answer
Option 1) Occluded front

Key PointsAir Mass:

Air mass is a volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content.
The boundary between the two air masses is called the front.
When warm air mass moves over cold air mass create a warm front and when cold air mass moves over warm air mass, that situation creates a cold front.

Occluded font:

An occluded front is a front that is formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front.
The cold front moves rapidly than the warm front.
Ultimately, the cold front overtakes the warm front and completely displaces the warm air at the ground.
