What is formed?

Well, cold fronts obviously produce colder temperatures. They cause cold air to move under warm air and then they push the warm air up. Cold fronts move very quickly and they bring thunderstorms, heavy rain, or snow. They produce colder temperatures because the air mass behind the cold front is cooler and drier than the air mass that it is replacing.
