What is a difference between a cold front and warm front
A cold front is when cold air and warm air collide and the warm air rises and a warm front is when the air already risking over the cold front.
What is the type of weather with high pressure
The weather is normally dry weather and with sunshine.
What type of weather is usually associated with low pressure
