Answer:

Explained below:

Step-by-step explanation:

When a cold air mass meets a warm air mass, a front is formed and if the cold air is replacing the warm air, it is known as a cold front. Cold fronts frequently cause thunderstorms or rain showers because they pressure the air in a steep upward direction at the front's edge. They are also responsible to bring the changes in atmospheric pressure and wind direction.
