A cold front is defined as the leading edge of a cooler and mass of an air which replaces it (at ground level) a warmer mass of air.

  1. Also, pointing to cold fronts and warm fronts. if a warm front hit with an artic front it could create desisatrous results. Tornados and/or huricanes depending on where your location is could occur. It could also cause very severe climate changes, to icy cold in the middle of spring, to blazing hot in the summer.

  2. The degrees of the fronts differ cold fronts are 20 to 30 degrees warm fronts 50 to 60 degrees.

  3. Mountains and warm bodies of water can slow the movement of fronts. a front becomes stationary, and the density contrast across the front boundary vanishes, the front can degenerate into a line which separates regions of differing wind velocity, known as a shearline. This is most common over the open ocean.
