I'm unable to view images directly, but I can help you understand how to identify different weather fronts based on their characteristics. Here’s a brief description of each type:

  1. Cold Front: Typically shown as a blue line with triangles pointing in the direction of movement. These fronts usually bring cooler temperatures and can lead to thunderstorms.

  2. Warm Front: Usually depicted as a red line with semicircles facing the direction of movement. Warm fronts generally bring warmer temperatures and lead to gradual changes in weather, often resulting in clouds and extended rainfall.

  3. Stationary Front: Represented by alternating red semicircles and blue triangles on opposite sides. This front occurs when a cold front and a warm front meet but neither is strong enough to overtake the other, often leading to prolonged periods of precipitation.

  4. Occluded Front: Shown with alternating purple triangles and semicircles pointing in the direction of movement. An occluded front occurs when a cold front overtakes a warm front, leading to complex weather patterns.

If you can provide descriptions or characteristics of the symbols in your image, I can help you match them to the correct types of fronts (A, B, and C).
