Answer:Occluded front

Explanation: An Occluded Front forms when a warm air mass gets caught between two cold air masses. The warm air mass rises as the cool air masses push and meet in the middle. The temperature drops as the warm air mass is occluded, or “cut off,” from the ground and pushed upward.

Answer:

Hurricane

Step-by-step explanation:

Coriolis force is a weak force at the equator and hence it is able to deflect hurricane only when it is at a faraway distance from equator. This force tends to create winds with circular motion with respect to the surface of earth. Such circular winds or air flows are called as Hurricane.

Basically, Hurricane can move in counter-clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and in the opposite direction while it propagates in the southern hemisphere
