The Final Jeopardy Category is: Fronts Please record your wager. Click on screen to begin

What is the difference between a cold front and a warm front? Click on screen to continue

Click on screen to continue A cold front forms when a cold air mass pushes under a warm air mass. The cold air pushes the warm air up rapidly, and clouds form along the front, producing rain and thunderstorms. A warm front occurs when a warm air mass meets a cold air mass, and the warm air slides up over the cold air. Clouds may form and produce rain or snow. Click on screen to continue
