How are the two air masses interacting in the picture below?

• Warm air is colliding with cold air sending the cold air up into the atmosphere quickly

• Cold air is colliding with cold air sending the warm air up into the atmosphere slowly

• Warm air is colliding with cold air sending the warm air up into the atmosphere slowly

• Cold air is colliding with warm air sending the warm air up into the atmosphere quickly
