Are maritime air masses hurricanes?
No. A maritime air mass is any air mass that originates over the ocean. A hurricanes is an intense tropical storm.
Do maritime tropical air masses form hurricanes?
Yes.
Why do hurricanes and tornadoes need a mixture of cool and warm air?
Hurricanes don't. They form within a region of warm air that has relatively little temperature variation. Tornadoes, on the other hand, are commonly found ahead of a cold front. A cold front occur when a mass of cool air plows into a mass of warm air. The warmer air, which is less dense, is forced upward and cools as it rises. Moisture in the warm air mass condense to form rain shows and, if there is enough moisture, thunderstorms. If the storms are strong enough and conditions are right these storms may produce tornadoes.
Definition of maritime polar air mass?
a maritime polar air mass is an air mass with cool and moist conditions. they form in the northern areas of the atlantic and pacific ocean.
Why are hurricanes not formed in the Northern Latitudes?
Hurricanes form from the rapid rise of warm/hot air which is converted to cyclonic flow by the Earth's rotation. This is nearly impossible in cold climates (i.e Northern latitudes) where there is no steady source of warm air.
Are maritime air masses hurricanes?
No. A maritime air mass is any air mass that originates over the ocean. A hurricanes is an intense tropical storm.
When and where hurricanes form?
Hurricanes form over the ocean and when the water and air is warm or hot.
Where and when do hurricanes form?
Hurricanes form over the ocean and when the water and air is warm or hot.
Which air Mass is responsible for hurricanes?
maritime tropical
Can hurricanes form in space?
No; a hurricane consists of air and water.
Do maritime tropical air masses form hurricanes?
Yes.

Type of air mass that form in the tropics?
tropical air mass
What seas do hurricanes form over?
Warm seas with a warm air updraft.
Why does lightning form?
a lightning form when cold air mass pushes warm air mass up because of this hard reaction it forms lightning. this is called cold air mass.
What air mass cause the hurricanes and thunderstorm that occur on the east coast and in the Midwest?
It's the maritime polar mp
What causes air mass?
No single air mass "causes" tornadoes. This is Tornadoes form within thunderstorms. Thunderstorms form best when there is plentiful warm, moist air. So, a arm, moist air mass is usually present. Significant tornado activity, however, usually results from the thunderstorms that form near the boundaries between air masses. Usually where a warm, moist air mass meets a cooler or drier air mass.
