It isn't really either of those things. However, it will produce cold fronts as the cold air displaces the warmer air.

Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles creating?
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.
What zone does the warm are rise and cool and the cool air sinks?
Warm air molecules are fast moving and therefore less dense than cold air molecules. Since cold air is more dense (more slowly moving) it sinks.
What is cold air pushing warm air which then cools and sinks pushing up more warm air?
toward
What front will occur when warm air pushes over cold air?
When warm air pushes into cold air the result is a warm front.
Why does cold air tend to flow under warm air?
cold air has more water vapor so it sinks warm air does not have so much
What does warm air do?
Warm air rises,and then sinks when the air is cold.
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles creating?
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.
Is high pressure warm front or cold front?
warm front is low pressure , cold front high pressure . because it pushes down on the surface (because cold air sinks) it makes high pressure .
What Moves cold air out and warm air in?
warm air rises cold air goes down sinks
Why does warm air slide over cold air at worm fronts?
Warm air is lighter then cold air. So the cold air sinks and the warm air raise.
What zone does the warm are rise and cool and the cool air sinks?
Warm air molecules are fast moving and therefore less dense than cold air molecules. Since cold air is more dense (more slowly moving) it sinks.
What atmospheric condition causes a cold front?
When colder air advances toward warm air. The cold air wedges under the warm air like a plow. As the warm is lifted it cools and water vapor condenses forming clouds
When warm air rises and cool air sinks in what is it called?
Convection Currents
When is air likely to rise?
Warm air rises. Cold air sinks.
What is an important property of air circulation?
cold air sinks, warm air rises, and warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air can.
What are the characteristics of warm and cold air for weather?
Warm air is lighter and therefore rises. Cold air holds more water and is heavier. Cold air sinks lower than warm air.
What is cold air pushing warm air which then cools and sinks pushing up more warm air?
toward
