Answer to Question 1

A cold front is the leading edge of a cold air mass, whereas a warm front is the leading edge of a warm air mass. A cold front is more homogeneous and denser than the warm air mass it displaces. It causes warm air ahead of the advancing air mass to rise abruptly. Several days before its arrival, high cirrus clouds appear. As it advances, more intense lifting results, cumulonimbus clouds may form, and heavy precipitation may results. The aftermath is north winds in the northern hemisphere and anticyclonic conditions. A warm front may be carried by the jet stream into regions with colder air. The leading edge of a warm front is unable to displace cooler, passive air. Instead, the warm air tend to push the cooler, underlying air into a wedge shape, with the warmer air sliding over the cooler air, creating a temperature inversion.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
