• As a cold front moves, the colder, more dense air moves above the warmer air, and this causes storms.

• As a cold front moves, the colder, less dense air moves below the warmer air, and this causes storms.

• As a cold front moves, the colder, less dense air moves above the warmer air, and this causes storms.
