The collision of air masses of different characteristics such as dry air and warm moist air can produce?
for Plato users its .. B
The collision of air masses of different characteristics such as cool dry air and warm moist air can produce?
Dramatic change in temperature and storms.
How do scientists classify air masses?
Scientists classify air masses according to their general characteristics and latitude. Artic air masses form at around 60 degrees latitude, Polar masses are at around 40 degrees latitude, warm tropical air masses are at 15 degrees latitude and very hot air masses form near the equator.
Can the movement of air masses predict the weather?
Yes, the movement of air masses can help predict the weather. Different air masses have different characteristics (such as temperature and humidity) and when they collide, it can lead to the formation of weather systems like storms or fronts. By tracking the movement of air masses, meteorologists can make predictions about the weather conditions that are likely to occur in a particular area.
What do the characteristics of air masses depend on?
source region actually the answer is air masses are classified by a combination of words the 1st word represents where the air mass forms(maritime or continital) the 2nd is the temperature(polar or tropical)
How do air masses get there characteristics?
Air masses get their characteristics from where they are made
What is a front in an air mass?
A front marks the boundary between air masses with different characteristics.
What causes fronts?
air masses with different characteristics such as temperature and humidity do not usually mix. so when two different air masses meet a boundary forms between them.

The collision of air masses of different characteristics such as cool dry air and warm moist air can produce?
Dramatic change in temperature and storms.
What are two possible humidity characteristics of air masses?
it is tropical air and continental air.
Can air masses be on ocean?
Yes, air masses can be anywhere as they can take on the characteristics of the surface whether it be land or water that they are over.
What are characteristics used to classify air masses?
maritime and continental.
How many types of air masses are there?
There are three different types of air masses.
What are characteristics of continental tropical air masses?
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.
How do scientists classify air masses?
Scientists classify air masses according to their general characteristics and latitude. Artic air masses form at around 60 degrees latitude, Polar masses are at around 40 degrees latitude, warm tropical air masses are at 15 degrees latitude and very hot air masses form near the equator.
When two different air masses collide forms a?
When two different air masses collide they form a cloud.
