What types of air masses do jet streams separate?
It separates hot air masses and cold air masses
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.
What are Air masses that form over land are called?
continental air masses
Is it true that Air masses that form near the equator are tropical air masses?
yes
What type of storm comes when warm air masses and cold air masses collide?
kkk
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.
What kind of density do warm air mass 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.
Does a tropical air mass tend to be warmer than polar air masses?
Yes!
How are air masses that form land different from air masses that form over water?
These air masses are different due to their temperatures. Air masses over water tend to be bigger because of faster evaporation and faster condensation. I hope I helped! I'm covering this subject in science.

Why do air masses travel from the Polar Regions toward the Equator?
This is ultimately the result of temperature differences; the energy comes from sunlight. Note that air masses need to travel in BOTH directions, since the air can't just accumulate in one place.
What does gravity have to do with tornadoes?
Air masses of low density tend to rise because they are less strongly affected by gravity than cool air masses. Rising warm air masses is the primary cause of convection on earth. Thunderstorms are a product of convection. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms.

Where do high pressure centers tend to develop during the summer?
In warm air masses over continents.
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 do air masses that form over water tend to have more of than the ones that form over land?
Water vapor.
Does air masses generally travel from east to west?
No...from west to east across the USA
