to the south and the east
A list of polar and tropical air masses?
an air mass is a small volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content. Air masses cover many hundreds or thousands of square miles, and adopt the characteristics of the surface below them. They are classified according to latitude and their continental or maritime source regions. Colder air masses are termed polar or arctic, while warmer air masses are deemed tropical. Continental and superior air masses are dry while maritime and monsoon air masses are moist. Weather fronts separate air masses with different density (temperature and/or moisture) characteristics. Once an air mass moves away from its source region, underlying vegetation and water bodies can quickly modify its character. Classification schemes tackle an air mass' characteristics, and well as modification...
Is it true that Air masses that form near the equator are tropical air masses?
yes
The type of air mass that forms in the tropics?
marintime tropical
What are the cold dry air masses that flow into the US from the interior of Canada?
continental tropical
What is an air mass that forms over dry land?

What are the cold dry air masses that flow into the US from the interior of Canada called?
continental tropical
What are cold dry air masses that flow into the US from the interior of Canada are called?
continental tropical
Which air masses have warm moist air?
Maritime tropical air masses have warm, moist air.
Prevailing winds over Alaska and northern Canada carry cold dry air masses to the?
south and east.
What is five types of air masses?
the four different types of air masses are continental polar,and tropical. maritime tropical, and polar. the 5 kinds ofair masses are: Cp: continental polar Ct: continental tropical Ca: continental artic Mp: maritime polar Mt: maritime tropical (Ma:maritime artic) maritime artic is much less common than the other air masses, because very cold air is less likely to be moist.
What is the four different air masses?
The 4 major air masses are continental polar (cP), continental tropical (cT), marine polar (mP) and marine tropical (mT). Generally, continental air masses are drier than marine air masses, and polar air masses are cooler than tropical air masses. cT air masses are relatively limited in distribution existing in the south west North America and North Africa.
What are warm moist air masses that form near the equator called?
maritime tropical
The air masses that cause occasional winter cold waves as far south as Florida are?
maritime tropical (M.T)
What is maritime tropic?
Tropical maritime is a weather term referring to air masses, Tropical means warm-usually from tropical areas. maritime means moist, as in air masses that originated or travelled over a large body of water. Tropical maritime would describe a warm, moist air mass. The opposite would be polar,continental, referring to air masses originating near the poles and over land. This would be dry, cold air.
What direction do prevailing winds over Alaska and northern Canada carry cold dry air masses?
to the south and the east
