Which of the following statements concerning frontal movements is TRUE?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — A cold front generally passes faster than a warm front.

Cold fronts typically move faster than warm fronts because dense cold air efficiently displaces lighter air, often catching up to form occlusions. Bowditch highlights this speed differential as a fundamental principle of frontal dynamics.
