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.
Types of air masses that are characterized by their temperature and humidity characteristics. Continental polar and maritime polar air masses are cold and moist, while continental tropical and maritime tropical air masses are warm and humid. These air masses determine the weather conditions when they interact with each other.
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

The five types of air masses are polar, tropical, maritime, continental, and arctic. Polar air masses are cold and dry, tropical air masses are warm and dry, maritime air masses are warm and moist, continental air masses are dry and cold, and arctic air masses are extremely cold and dry.

The major air masses that influence the weather in the United States are the Continental Arctic (cA), Continental Polar (cP), Continental Tropical (cT), Maritime Polar (mP), and Maritime Tropical (mT). These air masses bring different temperature and moisture characteristics, impacting weather patterns across the country.
Air masses are described based on their temperature and humidity characteristics. These characteristics are categorized as maritime (moist) or continental (dry), and polar (cold) or tropical (warm). The combination of these factors gives rise to different types of air masses, such as maritime tropical or continental polar.
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.
there is maritime, tropical, continental, and polar, (correct me if im wrong) maritime means over the ocean, tropical means near the equator continental means over land, and polar means far from the equator
because the air is moving
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.
Air masses are classified based on their source region and characteristics such as temperature and humidity. There are four main types of air masses: continental tropical (cT), continental polar (cP), maritime tropical (mT), and maritime polar (mP). The classification helps meteorologists predict weather patterns and movement of these air masses.
