Warm air rises above cold air in item A, while two air masses collide in item B.
Cold air mixes with warm air in item A, while two air masses barely move in item B.
Warm air is pushed upward near cold air in item A, while a boundary forms in item B.

Two air masses form a boundary in item A, while warm air rises above cold air in item B.

Item A shows opposing arrows (a stationary front) where the air masses meet and form a boundary. Item B shows the fronts moving the same way (an occlusion) where the colder air lifts the warm air aloft.
