The fronts that produce the most storms are those that have the highest difference in temperature, and the highest levels of water vapor. Warm, moist air is unstable, and contact with colder air can trigger extreme weather events.
The key factor is convergence of winds produced in the area along the front. The greater the convergence of winds, the more upward motion. Another key ingredient is how unstable the environment is that the front is pushing into. Warm and moist air near the surface and very cold air aloft creates instability. This will usually determine the strength of thunderstorms. A long-lived storm can produce large hail and perhaps a tornado, when the wind increases with height and changes direction, typically in a clockwise manner.
Some fronts produce stronger storms than others because some fronts have higher winds than others. They have more energy. They are stronger than fronts that have low winds.

if they are around the bad clouds there could be a bad storm also the bad clouds can cause other weather plus the fonts.

Is it true the border between 2 air masses may be either cold or warm fronts?
Yes. If a warm air mass moves into a cold air mass it creates a warm front. When the opposite happens it forms a cold front.
What is the difference between nor Easter in a hurricane?
The Nor'Easter and the Hurricane both form around a low pressure core. The difference is a hurricane forms in the tropics and has no fronts contained within. A Nor'Easter forms north of the tropics and has two fronts, one cold front following a warm front. Both storms are capable of high winds and heavy precipitation. However the Hurricane generally has more energy due to a higher and warmer water vapor content than the typical Nor'Easter. Both storms have a wind system which spins counter clockwise. (Yes that is only for Northern Hemisphere but technically both classified phenomenon only happen in the No rthern Hemisphere.) Hurricanes are storms which happen in the Atlantic. The same type of storm in the Pacific is called a typhoon.
How does dust storms on earth differ on the dust storms in Jupiter?
they differ because all of our storms are destroing our cities and our planet and Jupiter has no life forms on it so it really be de stroying anything but itself
What forms over tropical waters and are earths largest and most destructive storms?
Hurricanes form over tropical waters and are earth's largest and most destructive storms.
Why is there usually precipitation along a front line?
When two weather systems collide, the zone of collision is called a front. This collision is what mostly causes severe storms. It's not the only cause. Tropical revolving storms - Cyclones,Hurricanes and Typhoons- are not caused by or associated with fronts. Additionally, very hot weather can cause severe thunderstorms, which again are not necessarily associated with a front.
What type of fronts forms when the surface position of fronts does not move?
stationary
How is a front formed?
A weather front typically forms when both warm and cool air meet. Both the difference in air temperature, as well as the density of the air, can cause a front. Warm fronts are more slow moving than cold fronts and usually produce precipitation. Fronts are depicted on weather maps with arrows showing where the front has come from and what direction the front is moving.
How does low pressure forms?
When warm and cold fronts meet . ;{)
What front forms a cyclone?
Fronts are not associated with tropical systems.
What type of fronts forms when the surface position of the front does not move?
stationary
How might low pressure and high pressure systems cause storms?
low pressure is usually more associated with storms because of rain caused by the low pressure, cold fronts are the main cause of storms because of rapidly condensing warm air which in turn forms cumulonimbus clouds which are consider the hulking "thunderstorm clouds" so low pressure comes into play with the rain/snow/sleet/hail involved in the storm
What kind of front do tornadoes usually occur with?
Tornadoes and other forms of severe weather are most often associated with cold fronts. However, warm fronts and stationary fronts have on occasion produced tornadoes.
Is it true the border between 2 air masses may be either cold or warm fronts?
Yes. If a warm air mass moves into a cold air mass it creates a warm front. When the opposite happens it forms a cold front.
Which layer contains all the water vapor that that forms clouds?
There is no one layer. The throphsphere is the closest layer to earth, and associated with cold fronts, and thunder storms. The Stratosphere is the second most closest to earth, and is associated with warm fronts (usually a steady rain for a day or so). Then there is the Ionosphere, the most highest clouds which is Ice particles that contain no water vapors that will fall to earth.

What is a Columbus cloud?
A cloud forms small thunder storms
When a warm humid air mass is pushed ahead of a cold front what sometimes forms?
Storms and most likely severe storms.
