Answer:
The first stage of cyclogenesis, the stationary stage, is named so due to the presence of a stationary front. The surface winds of the air mass converge, creating the low pressure system.
Explanation:
Extratropical cyclones, widely referred to as mid-latitude cyclones, are synoptic scale low pressure systems that form between 30° N and 60° N latitudes or 30° S and 60° S latitudes.
Characteristics of a Mid-Latitude Cyclone
Stages of Cyclogenesis
Cyclogenesis is a term used to describe the intensification or development of a cyclone, and is commonly used to describe the life cycle of a mid-latitude cyclone.
Temperate Cyclones also called mid-latitudinal cyclones or extra tropical cyclones are formed due to interaction of air masses of different temperature. The cold air mass is from the polar region and hot air mass from the temperate region. This condition occur between sub-polar low and sub-tropical high pressure belts and along the tropopause.
This takes place with formation of different types of front. Fronts are the interaction zone of two cyclones. Stages of formation of front:
Stationary front: In this stage warm air mass and cold air mass comes in contact to each other and if they have no force to move each othyer, the front remains stationary. Here little precipitation is observed for few days with little rainfall.
