A gust front forms through which process?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Spreading of cold downdraft air at the surface
Rain evaporation and melting can cool air inside a thunderstorm. This denser air descends as a downdraft and then spreads outward when it reaches the ground. The leading boundary of this cold outflow is called a gust front, where winds shift and new convection may be triggered.
