🔍 Key Concepts

• Cold fronts vs warm fronts – how each front behaves as it passes a location • Typical weather intensity (showers, thunderstorms, gusts) associated with each type of front • Typical duration of bad weather with each type of front

💭 Think About

• Think about which type of front usually brings the most sudden, intense changes in wind, temperature, and precipitation. • Consider which type of front tends to produce steady rain or drizzle over many hours or even a day or more. • Ask yourself: when a front passes quickly with sharp, strong squalls, is that usually a cold front or a warm front?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which front generally has more violent weather (stronger squalls, thunderstorms). • Verify which front generally has shorter duration vs longer duration of poor weather as it passes. • Eliminate any choice that says the gentler, slower‑moving front is the more violent one.
