Which explains what happens when a cold front meets a warm front?
The cold air rises over the warm air, forming clouds followed by rain.
The cold air pushes the warm air down to the ground, forming clouds followed by rain.
The cold air pushes under the warm air, forming clouds followed by rain.
The cold air rises and evenly mixes with the warm air, forming clouds followed by rain.
