When a fast moving cold air mass collides into a warm air mass.
A cold front is formed. Yes a cold front is formed, but this could also come to mean that a cold front overtakes a warm front which means a new front would be formed called an occluded front.
A warm front is formed when a warm air mass advances and overrides a retreating cooler air mass. As the warm air rises over the cold air, it cools and condenses, leading to the formation of clouds and precipitation along the front. Warm fronts typically bring periods of light to moderate precipitation and gradually warmer temperatures as the warm air mass takes over.
When a warm air mass and a cold air mass stall and remain stationary over an area, it is called a stationary front. This can lead to persistent and prolonged periods of weather, often bringing extended periods of precipitation or clear skies depending on the location of the front.
A warm front is formed in this scenario. As the warm air mass gradually overtakes the cold air mass, the warm air rises over the cold air, leading to the formation of a warm front. This typically results in a gradual increase in temperature and often brings prolonged periods of precipitation.
When a warm front moves into a cold front, the warm air gradually rises over the denser cold air. This can lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation. The warm air displaces the cold air, leading to a gradual increase in temperature and humidity.
Yes, because the warm air is always less dense, so it rises over the cold front.

That's called an 'occluded' front.

Occluded front
When a cold front overtakes a warm front, it is known as an occluded front. This occurs when the cold air behind the cold front catches up with the warm air ahead of the warm front, forcing the warm air upward.

climate change
When a warm front moves into a cold front, the warm air gradually rises over the denser cold air. This can lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation. The warm air displaces the cold air, leading to a gradual increase in temperature and humidity.
