Answer:
A low pressure system
Explanation:
Cold, dense air squeezes its way through the warmer, less-dense air, and lifts the warm air. Because air is lifted instead of being pressed down, the movement of a cold front through a warm front is usually called a low-pressure system.

Air pressure in the cold areas is higher.
Air pressure is the force exerted by the Earth's atmosphere on any object at the Earth's surface.
- As the sun heats the Earth's surface, the air near the surface warms up. The heated air molecules are less dense and it is lighter than cold air so the warm air will rise. The rising motion builds a natural vacuum which reduces the air pressure at the Earth’s surface.
- On the other hand, The air around cold regions has concentrated molecules and has a greater density so the cooler molecule moves down towards the land creating high pressure at the Earth's surface.
