What is the difference between a cold
front and a warm front?
Click on screen to continue
A cold front forms when a cold air
mass pushes under a warm air mass.
The cold air pushes the warm air up
rapidly, and clouds form along the
front, producing rain and
thunderstorms. A warm front occurs
when a warm air mass meets a cold
air mass, and the warm air slides up
over the cold air. Clouds may form
and produce rain or snow.
