The Caribbean is typically affected by a TUTT or Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough, it typically develops over the Central Atlantic into the Caribbean by April and persists til mid-November. Other tropical systems develop throughout hurricane season and affect the region as a whole. Due to the proximity of the equator, the Near-Equatorial Tradewind Convergence area (NETWC) can affect the area from Jun to Aug.

Are warm air masses lighter than cold air masses?
Warm air masses are lighter than cold air masses because the molecules of cold air move slower than the warm air's molecules.
How do air masses move across the US?
In the United States air masses move across the country by air currents. These air currents are pushed by either hot or cold air masses.
What kind of density do warm air and cold air masses have?
Cold air is more dense than warm air. This is why cold air masses tend to descend, and warm air masses tend to rise.
The meeting of which air masses causes thunderstorms in the spring?
Some maritime tropical air masses originate in the subtropical Pacific Ocean, where it is warm and air must travel a long distance over water. These rarely extend north or east of southern California. Some maritime tropical air masses originate over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. They can be associated with fog and low clouds as they moves northward. In the spring and summer, this air mass accounts for the thunderstorms in the Great Plains and elsewhere.
When cold air masses push against warm air masses what is formed?
A cold front.
Do objects with different masses fall at the same rate?
if all of the forces affecting the objects are the same, then yes (i.e air resistance to a feather).
Which weather map symbol represents air masses that normally form just south of the US over the Caribbean Sea?
Ct
What does Air masses?
There are two types of air masses: COLD AIR AND WARM AIR.Cold Air Masses-Cold air masses can cause thunderstorms and even tornadoes.Warm Air Masses-Warm air masses can bring many hours of steady rain and snow.
What types of air masses do jet streams separate?
It separates hot air masses and cold air masses
What moving air masses cause?
The temperature and density of the air masses. the air masses moves when hot air and cold air gets together
What does air mass cause?

How do air masses get there characteristics?
Air masses get their characteristics from where they are made

What are two types of air masses that occur and how ar air masses related to fronts?
Two types of air masses are cold and warm air masses. When they meet each other, a front forms.
Do cool air masses flow over warm air masses?
No, as cold air is denser.
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.
