Answer:

Cold Front

Warm Front

Stationary Front

Occluded front

A cold front forms when a cold air mass pushes into a warmer air mass

A warm front forms when a warm air mass pushes into a cooler air mass

A stationary front forms when a cold front or warm front stops moving

At an occluded front, the cold air mass from the cold front meets the cool air that was ahead of the warm front

Explanation:

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Stationary Front, warm front, cold front, Occluded Front.

Explanation:

Stationary Front. When the surface position of a front does not change (when two air masses are unable to push against each other; a draw), a stationary front is formed.

cold front is the leading edge of a cooler mass of air at ground level that replaces a warmer mass of air and lies within a pronounced surface trough of low pressure. It often forms behind an extratropical cyclone (to the west in the Northern Hemisphere, to the east in the Southern), at the leading edge of its cold air advection pattern—known as the cyclone's dry "conveyor belt" flow. Temperature differences across the boundary can exceed 30 °C (86 °F) from one side to the other. When enough moisture is present, rain can occur along the boundary. If there is significant instability along the boundary, a narrow line of thunderstorms can form along the frontal zone. If instability is weak, a broad shield of rain can move in behind the front, and evaporative cooling of the rain can increase the temperature difference across the front. Cold fronts are stronger in the fall and spring transition seasons and weakest during the summer.

A warm front is a density discontinuity located at the leading edge of a homogeneous warm air mass, and is typically located on the equator-facing edge of an isotherm gradient. Warm fronts lie within broader troughs of low pressure than cold fronts, and move more slowly than the cold fronts which usually follow because cold air is denser and less easy to remove from the Earth's surface. This also forces temperature differences across warm fronts to be broader in scale. Clouds ahead of the warm front are mostly stratiform, and rainfall gradually increases as the front approaches. Fog can also occur preceding a warm frontal passage. Clearing and warming is usually rapid after frontal passage. If the warm air mass is unstable, thunderstorms may be embedded among the stratiform clouds ahead of the front, and after frontal passage thundershowers may continue. On weather maps, the surface location of a warm front is marked with a red line of semicircles pointing in the direction of travel.

In meteorology, an occluded front is a weather front formed during the process of cyclogenesis. The classical view of an occluded front is that they are formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front, such that the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the surface. The point where the warm front becomes the occluded front is called the triple point; a new area of low-pressure that develops at this point is called a triple-point low. A more modern view of the formation process suggests that occluded fronts form directly during the wrap-up of the baroclinic zone during cyclogenesis, and then lengthen due to flow deformation and rotation around the cyclone.

When refrigeration can’t work how does the molecules work to keep it cool
Simora [160]
The compressor constricts the refrigerant vapor, raising its pressure, and pushes it into the coils on the outside of the refrigerator. 2. When the hot gas in the coils meets the cooler air temperature of the kitchen, it becomes a liquid. ... The refrigerant absorbs the heat inside the fridge, cooling down the air.

Nuclear fission formula by the looks of it. Possibly how Professor Lisa Meitner realised that she had split the atomic nucleus. The Xenon and the Strontium (Xe and Sr) would presumably show up in a radio chemical assaying test at her university. 
A few years later, Professor J Robert Oppenheimer watched a nuclear test somewhere near Los Alamos, US and lamented "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". Shortly thereafter, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were razed to the ground and annihilated by nuclear bombs. Professor Meitner, probably inadvertently, had got the keys to the doors to "nuclear hell", and JRO ended up turning them. Something like that maybe, and a very harrowing and tumultuous period in human history.
Note in the fission equation, that out come two neutrons. They go off and produce a similar fission in another U235 nucleus into a chain reaction which, i not moderated by, say, Boron, can end up as a "mushroom cloud".
