Consider the following statements regarding 'fronts': 1. The movement of a front causes a slow change in weather in the area over which it moves. 2. Cold fronts are associated with thunderstorms. 3. Warm front is the boundary between an advancing mass of warm air where it is overriding and rising above a mass of colder air. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statement 2: Correct
Cold fronts are strongly associated with sudden weather changes, often causing:
- Thunderstorms
- Heavy rain
- Strong winds
because cold air rapidly pushes warm air upward.

A warm front is the boundary where:
- A warm air mass advances
- It rises over a colder, denser air mass
- This leads to cloud formation and steady precipitation
