What describes and air mass with the symbol C T?
A cP (continental polar) air mass is generally cool and dry.
What is an equatorial air mass?
Air formed in places where the temperature is warm.
Which air mass would produce warm dry air during the summer?
continental polar
What kind of air would be characteristic of a continental polar air mass?
Continental polar masses are cold and dry air masses because the cold air cannot hold much moisture. As they move into warmer air, they can trigger precipitation.
How does a Front and Air Mass differ from each other?
An air mass is a body of air. It has similar characteristics to the land on top of which it forms. Fronts are the boundaries in between two different, or same air masses. (e.g: a cold front is when a cold air mass hits a warm air mass and quickly pushes the warm air mass upward.)
What is continental tropical air mass like?
The continental tropical air mass is very humid and warm, with lots of rain and a high humidity.
What describes and air mass with the symbol C T?
A cP (continental polar) air mass is generally cool and dry.
What is an equatorial air mass?
Air formed in places where the temperature is warm.
Is a maritime tropical air mass warm and humid or dry?
dry
What air mass is warm and dry?
continental tropical
What kind of air would be characteristic of a maritime tropical air mass?
Warm, humid
What type of air mass is dry and warm?
it is continental tropical air
What effect does warm dry air mass have on the area over which it moves?
A warm and dry air mass can make the area over which it moves arid and less humid. This is why deserts have dry air while coastal areas are humid.
What type of air mass is in Texas in the summer?
dry and warm
What are air masses bend at boundaries to form?
The boundaries between air masses are called front. The types of air mass and movements involved determine the type of front. Warm front: a warm air mass plows into a cold air mass. Cold front: a cold air mass plows into a warm air mass. Stationary front: The warm and cold air masses move little relative to one another. Occluded front: A cold front catches up with a warm front, sending the warm air mass aloft. Dry line: a dry air mass plows into a moist air mass.
What effect does a warm dry air mass have on the area over which it moves?
A warm dry air mass typically brings clear skies, warm temperatures, and low humidity to the area over which it moves. It can lead to dry conditions and increased evaporation, which may contribute to heatwaves and drought.
Is a cold dry air denser thatn a mass of warm humid air?
yes
