Polar air masses are cooler than tropical air masses because the place where they start I what?
Polar air masses are cooler than tropical air masses because they originate from high-latitude regions closer to the poles, where temperatures are generally colder. Conversely, tropical air masses originate from low-latitude regions near the equator, where temperatures are generally warmer. This temperature difference between the two regions accounts for the inherent temperature contrast between polar and tropical air masses.
What is an air mass that forms over dry land?
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
What type of air masses would form over the northern Atlantic?
Maritime polar air masses.
A contienetal polar air mass forms in?
A continental polar air mass are cold to cool and dry, but are not as cold as the Arctic air masses. Continental Polar air masses form over Canada and Siberia. These air masses bring cold air during the winter and cool, relatively clear, rather pleasant weather in the summer. The air mass is stable and usually prevents cloud formation.
What two words identify the temperature of air masses?
Polar air and maritime tropicalnir.

What are the types of air masses?
The 4 major air masses are continental polar (cP), continental tropical (cT), marine polar (mP) and marine tropical (mT). Generally, continental air masses are drier than marine air masses, and polar air masses are cooler than tropical air masses. cT air masses are relatively limited in distribution existing in the south west North America and North Africa.
Do polar air masses have air pressure?
yes
What are polar air masses?
Cold, wet air.
What types of air masses that affect Saskatchewan?
Continental polar air masses would mostly affect Saskatchewan. There may also sometimes be maritime arctic and maritime polar air masses.
What is an air mass that forms over dry land?
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
Which climate zone in America is characterized by violent summer storms when humid air masses interact with cold polar air?
hmm, sounds alot like either continental hot summer or humid subtropical in the summer.
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.
What is the four different air masses?
The 4 major air masses are continental polar (cP), continental tropical (cT), marine polar (mP) and marine tropical (mT). Generally, continental air masses are drier than marine air masses, and polar air masses are cooler than tropical air masses. cT air masses are relatively limited in distribution existing in the south west North America and North Africa.
How are continental tropical and continental polar air masses and how are they different?
the continental tropical and continental polar air masses both come from land, are humid and their differences are polar is cool air while tropical is warm air
What air masses are in alaska?
polar continental
What type of air masses would form over the northern Atlantic?
Maritime polar air masses.
