why does a warm front moving into a cold area produce slow constant rain while a cold front moving into a warm area creates thunderstorms?

Honestly not sure what to flair this or how to explain it. But like how it’s cold after a summer storm during a hot day or how it gets warmer after a slow and steady rain?

A warm front will be lighter and comes up over the cold air. It doesnt change much from before and that’s why the rain is slow and constant.
The cold front coming in is low and dense. So it under the warm front and hurls the warm air upwards. This makes a lot of movement, aka a thunderstorm
