Air masses get their characteristics from their source region, which is the surface/region over where it formed. For example, if an air mass formed over an ocean near the equator, it would be called a mT. m stands for maritime (ocean) and T stands for tropical (near the equator/hot). Hope this helps people.
What else can I help you with?
How do air masses get there characteristics?
Air masses get their characteristics from where they are made
What are the two major characteristics change when air is heated and cooled?
How do these characteristics change the movement of air?
All of the air in an air mass has nearly the same?
temperature and humidity, enabling the air mass to maintain its characteristics as it moves across the Earth's surface. This uniformity in air properties allows meteorologists to classify air masses based on their temperature and humidity characteristics.
What are the basic characteristics used to describe air mass?
Air masses are described based on their temperature and humidity characteristics. These characteristics are categorized as maritime (moist) or continental (dry), and polar (cold) or tropical (warm). The combination of these factors gives rise to different types of air masses, such as maritime tropical or continental polar.
What is the properties and characteristics of clean air?
invisible
What are the characteristics of gases and vapors that are heavier than air?
They sink below the air.
What do the characteristics of air masses depend on?
source region actually the answer is air masses are classified by a combination of words the 1st word represents where the air mass forms(maritime or continital) the 2nd is the temperature(polar or tropical)
Why do air masses form where the air stays in one place for a while?
Air masses form when air remains stationary over a particular region for an extended period of time. This allows the air to acquire the temperature and moisture characteristics of that region, creating a distinct air mass with specific properties. Movement of the air mass can then transport these characteristics to other regions.
A large air mass will generally have uniform and characteristics?
A large air mass will generally have uniform temperature and humidity characteristics due to its size and source region. These characteristics will influence weather patterns and conditions as the air mass moves across different regions.
What kind of air would be characteristics of continental tropical air mass?
cold and dry :)
What is the large volume of air that takes on the characteristics of the area over which it form?
