Answer 1

When a cold front catches up to a warm front, it leads to the formation of an **occluded front**. In meteorology, an occluded front occurs when a cold front moves faster than a warm front, lifting the warm air mass off the ground. This can result in a variety of weather conditions, often including clouds and precipitation.
