Which characteristic is not true of cold fronts A they lift upward B they push warm fronts downward C they move more slowly than warm fronts D none of these are true?
None of the choices are true.
The upward movement of warm air is called?

Small area storms formed by the strong upward movement of warm moist air are called?
Small area storms formed by the strong upward movement of warm, moist air are called storm surges.
What is warm air forced upward along?
