Insights and Reflections about Cold Front


Today, I have learned that a cold front is the transition zone where a cold air mass is replacing a warmer air mass.  It generally moves from northwest to southeast. The air behind it is noticeably colder and drier than the air ahead of it. When a cold front passes through, temperatures can drop more than 15 degrees within the first hour.
I will apply my learnings about cold front so that we can know what to do when cold front passed our area. We can also know what weather phenomena it will bring.
Learnings about this phenomenon is important because we can be aware of what weather might we experience during cold front.
On a larger scale, I will share my learnings in this phenomenon because knowledge about Cold Front can help us prepare ourselves for the dangers and other possible happenings that might occur during this phenomenon.
I need to know more about the factors that may contribute to the formation and development of a Cold Front and also the measures to be taken during it.
