An air mass that is formed over water is usually called a maritime air mass.
Continental Masses form over Land.
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
Glaciers. Glaciers are large masses of ice that flow slowly over land, shaping the land through processes like erosion and deposition.
Three common air masses are maritime tropical (mT), continental polar (cP), and continental tropical (cT). Maritime tropical air masses are warm and humid, originating over oceans in tropical regions, while continental polar air masses are cold and dry, forming over land in polar regions. Continental tropical air masses are hot and dry, developing over land in desert areas. Each type significantly influences weather patterns when they interact with one another.
continental drift.
The first land masses were called supercontinents, with the most recent one being Pangaea. These supercontinents formed and broke apart over millions of years due to the movement of tectonic plates on Earth's surface.
