The boundaries between air masses are called front. The types of air mass and movements involved determine the type of front. Warm front: a warm air mass plows into a cold air mass. Cold front: a cold air mass plows into a warm air mass. Stationary front: The warm and cold air masses move little relative to one another. Occluded front: A cold front catches up with a warm front, sending the warm air mass aloft. Dry line: a dry air mass plows into a moist air mass.
The warm air mass that develops over land influencing weather in the US is the continental tropical air mass. It forms over warm, dry areas and brings hot and dry conditions to the region it affects.
It doesn't they both are two completely different things, and they don't transform into one and other. The scientific names for air mass's descriptions are: Cool = Polar Warm = Maritime Dry = Continental Moist = Oceanic

A cP (continental polar) air mass is generally cool and dry.
Air formed in places where the temperature is warm.

Warm, humid

A warm and dry air mass can make the area over which it moves arid and less humid. This is why deserts have dry air while coastal areas are humid.

A warm dry air mass typically brings clear skies, warm temperatures, and low humidity to the area over which it moves. It can lead to dry conditions and increased evaporation, which may contribute to heatwaves and drought.
Yes, cold dry air is denser than warm humid air because cold air molecules are closer together due to lower temperature, making the air more compact and denser. Warm humid air, on the other hand, has water vapor that displaces some of the air molecules, making it less dense.
An air mass that forms over a desert is called a continental tropical air mass. These air masses are dry, hot, and typically stable due to their formation over arid desert regions.
