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.
What type of air mass would form over the northern alantic ocean?
Maritime polar air masses
What kind of air mass causes hot humid weather?
The kind of air mass that causes hot,humid weather are the air masses that form over places near the equator ! (Hope you have fun)
What weather conditions may cause hurricanes and tornadoes?
Hurricanes form when clusters of thunderstorms move over tropical ocean water. These clusters then organize and intensify. Tornadoes most often form when thunderstorms encounter strong wind shear, which is when the speed and/or direction of the wind changes with altitude. The storms themselves usually occur when air masses of very different temperature and/or moisture content collide.
How is a front formed?
A weather front typically forms when both warm and cool air meet. Both the difference in air temperature, as well as the density of the air, can cause a front. Warm fronts are more slow moving than cold fronts and usually produce precipitation. Fronts are depicted on weather maps with arrows showing where the front has come from and what direction the front is moving.
How do air masses that form over the land and ocean affect weather in the Unnited States?
Air masses can affect the weather because different air masses differ in temperature, density, and moisture content.
How does air masses that form over the land and ocean affect weather in the US?
i think that because the climates change from the atmosphere ;* <3 .
What are the three places where polar air masses form and cause cold winter weather in the US?
Over Northern Canada , North Pacific Ocean , and North Atlantic Ocean.
Fronts form because?
Fronts form in the weather because of convection. There is a boundary created from two air masses of different masses.
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.
How do air masses that form over the land?
it affects it by when the weather is foggy or clear
Why is the desert air more dense than the ocean air at night?
Maritime air masses, which form over the sea, are generally very humid. Continental air masses, which form over land, are almost always dry.Maritime air masses often bring warm, humid weather accompanied by thunderstorms. Continental air masses hot, humid weather.(Continental polar brings cold, dry weather. Maritime Polar brings cool, wet weather.)So in other words, the sea air because the desert air is hot and air expands and becomes lighter as it goes up and spreads.
Why do tornadoes and tsunami formed?
Tornadoes and tsunamis are two very different types of weather events. Tornadoes form when two air masses collide. Tsunamis are caused by movement along the ocean floor.
How do air masses that form over land and ocean affect weather in the United states?
it does it ok let me say his way it affects it when it ok I am going to make this easy I really don't know wait I am just playing it affects the climate on how it is formed the omg deleted ok I don't there fine go see miley cryes
Is severe weather most likely to form on land or in the oceans?
in the ocean
What type of air mass would form over the Atlantic ocean?
Maritime polar air masses.
How does geography affect temperature?
it land shape can move air masses towards or away form it.
