some say that dutch has an overlay of german likeness due to linguistic influence but that on a basic level dutch is more like english while others say that dutch is more like german because like german it is a verb second language and sends the finite verb to the end of the sentence in subordinate clauses
A stationary front is a non-moving (or stalled) boundary between two air masses, neither of which is strong enough to replace the other. They tend to remain essentially in the same area for extended periods of time, usually moving in waves.
Air masses build over source regions that have relatively similar ground surface characteristics. Air masses that build over the land are called continental air masses while air masses that build over the open ocean are called maritime air masses. Air masses cover 100 s to 1000 s of kilometers of distance. What causes these huge regions of air to move? Air masses build when the air stagnates over a region for several days/weeks. To move these huge regions of air, the weather pattern needs to change to allow the air mass to move. One major influence of air mass movement is the upper level winds such as the upper level winds associated with the jet stream.
