Frontal Rainfall

Rain can be created when two air masses meet. If a mass of cold air meets a mass of warm air the two are unable to mix. As the cold air is denser (heavier) than the warm air, it forces the warm air mass to rise and move over the cold air. As the warm air rises, it begins to cool and condense creating clouds. These clouds then bring with them rainfall.
