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)
The surface over which the air mass was formed....
The temperature and moisture characteristics of an air mass depend on the source region. Masses of air take on the characteristics of the surface it is over.
An air mass takes on the characteristics of the region over which it forms.
They are determined by the surface of which the air mass was formed
geographic origin
Source region.
rate of earth rotation
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.
they depend on their masses because they would drop if you dont have mass ya mums cool dude

No. An air mass is a large mass of air with given characteristics of temperature and humidity that distinguish it from surrounding air masses. A front is the boundary between two air masses. For example, a cold front marks were a cold air mass moves in and pushes a warmer one out of the way.
Dramatic change in temperature and storms.
Air masses get their characteristics from where they are made
it is tropical air and continental air.
Yes, air masses can be anywhere as they can take on the characteristics of the surface whether it be land or water that they are over.
maritime and continental.
Continental Tropical air masses (cT) A continental tropical air mass forms in the interior of subtropical continents at about 15o to 35o north and south latitude. They are hot and dry air masses due to the temperature and moisture characteristics at their source region.

A front marks the boundary between air masses with different characteristics.
Air masses are usually horizontal and uniform. They moisture and temperature content are also uniform as well. When two air masses are separated it is called a front.

No the mass of air is a function of the thickness of the atmosphere.
