Answer:

A cold weather front is defined as the changeover region where a cold air mass is replacing a warmer air mass. Cold weather fronts usually move from northwest to southeast. ... Warm fronts usually move from southwest to northeast and the air behind a warm front is warmer and moister than the air ahead of it.

Step-by-step explanationThere are four different types of weather fronts: cold fronts, warm fronts, stationary fronts, and occluded fronts. the direction of flow of the air mass and its characteristics. so based on what we know i would say that warm fronts are calmest
