Answer:

When a cold front moves from the ocean to a warmer land it can be predicted that the meeting of the two creates storm weather, due to the formation of an occluded front.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cold fronts are generally due to the passage of a cold air current over places where the temperature is warm, being denser and faster.

When an oceanic cold front meets the warm temperature of the coast, the cold air pushes the warm air upwards, creating a low pressure system and the consequence is the formation of clouds and precipitation in the form of a storm.

The collision of a cold front with a warm front forms an occluded front, which can be the start of cyclones or storms.
