How many types of air masses are there?
There are three different types of air masses.
What moving air masses cause?
The temperature and density of the air masses. the air masses moves when hot air and cold air gets together
Do air masses ever mix together?
yes,Air masses mix together
Why do a continental and a polar cause a tornado?
The terminology here is a bit confused. In weather there are 4 basic types of large-scale air mass: Continental polar air masses come off the land in cold regions and are cool and dry. Maritime polar masses come off the ocean and are cool and somewhat moist. Continental tropical air masses come of the land from warm regions and are warm and dry. Finally maritime tropical masses come off of warm oceans and are warm and moist. When a continental polar air mass pushes into a maritime tropical air mass it forms a cold front. Since cold air is denser than warm air, the tropical air mass is forced upwards. This can trigger thunderstorms. Under the right conditions these storms can produce tornadoes.
Is a front a boundary between air masses?
yes it is "A front is a boundary between air masses" -science book
What is three types of air masses that effect Pennsylvania and where they come from?
The three type of air masses that affect pennsylvania are maritime polat(mp), continental polar(cp), and maritime tropical(mt).
What is three types of air masses that affect Pennsylvania and there symbols and where do they come from?
the answer is maritime polar (mP) continental polar(cP) and maritime tropical (mT) and the symbols are in parenthesis
How many types of air masses are there?
There are three different types of air masses.
What do cool air masses do when they come in contact with warm air masses?
The cool air sinks, while the warm air rises. If it does so with enough force and torque, a tornado or hurricane will form.
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.
How many air masses are involved in a front?
Usually two, but sometimes it can be three.
Tropical air masses and winds are cold?
False! They come from the Tropics!
How are continental tropical and continental air masses alike and how are they different?
the continental tropical and continental polar air masses both come from land, are humid and their differences are polar is cool air while tropical is warm air
How are continental tropical and continental polar air masses and how are they different?
the continental tropical and continental polar air masses both come from land, are humid and their differences are polar is cool air while tropical is warm air
What front involves three air masses of different temperatures?
An occluded weather front.
The climates of east Asia and southeast Asia are shaped by three different?
Air-Masses
What types of air masses do jet streams separate?
It separates hot air masses and cold air masses
