A cold air mass originates over water or land that is colder than the air temperature at the time. Cold air masses usually originate in the northwest and travel eastward. A warm air mass is formed from warm water or ground temperature that is warmer than the air at the time. Warm air masses usually originate in the southwest and travel east or northeast.

Do maritime air masses form over land?
No. If something is maritime, then it has to do with the ocean. Maritime air masses form over water.
When two different air masses collide forms a?
When two different air masses collide they form a cloud.
How are air masses that form over land different from air masses that form over water?
These air masses are different due to their temperatures. Air masses over water tend to be bigger because of faster evaporation and faster condensation. I hope I helped! I'm covering this subject in science.
A region where air masses can form must be fairly?

Why is the US not a great place for air masses to form?
why is the united states not a great place for air masses to form
Is it true that Air masses that form near the equator are tropical air masses?
yes
How do scientists classify air masses?
Scientists classify air masses according to their general characteristics and latitude. Artic air masses form at around 60 degrees latitude, Polar masses are at around 40 degrees latitude, warm tropical air masses are at 15 degrees latitude and very hot air masses form near the equator.
Where do moist air masses form over?
Moist air masses usually form over warm tropical oceans.
Where do air masses form?
