Describe how a cold front works in nature.

• Cold air pushes a warm air mass out (or displaces) of the area.

• Warm air pushes a cold air mass out (or displaces) of the area.

• A warm and a cold air mass come together, but they cannot move each other.

• Two cold air masses push a warm air mass up and trap the warm air mass from the ground.
