What happens when a cold front hits a warm front?

Answer 1

When a warm front and cold front meet the cool air rises above the warm air which creates lift which causes the moist air parcels to rise into the atmosphere. Then they condense into water droplets and form clouds those clouds will then form into thunderstorms which when the water molecules get heavy enough will fall as rain and then the water molecules and air molecules bounce off each other create the lightning you get with thunderstorms and that lightning creates a sonic boom which is the thunder. So basically a warm front and cold front colliding create thunderstorms which if the atmosphere supports it can potentially produce thunderstorms that produce tornadoes.
