What are two land masses that are found mainly in the north polar zone?
Greenland and iceland
Where is the polar front found?
The polar front is found in north Alaska and can sometimes be found as far south as Newfoundland!
Where do polar and tropical air masses develop?
Typically located pole ward of 60 degrees north and south
Describe the four main types of air masses affect the weather of North America?
The four are Maritime tropical, Continental tropical, maritime polar, and Continental polar
What type of air masses would form over the northern Atlantic?
Maritime polar air masses.
What are two land masses that are found mainly in the north polar zone?
Greenland and iceland
What are common air masses in North America?
4 major types of air masses influence the weather in North America: maritime tropical, maritime polar, continental tropical, and continental polar.
What are the types of air masses?
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.
How does wind patterns affect the movement of air masses in North America?
Four main types of air masses influence weather in North America: maritime tropical, continental tropical, maritime polar and continental polar.
What are the major types of air masses in North America and how do they move?
There are 4 types of air masses in North America: maritime tropical, maritime polar, continental tropical, and continental polar. In the continental United States, air masses are moved by the prevailing westerlies and the jet streams.
What is the four different air masses?
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.
Is much of the weather in eastern north America infkuenced by continental tropical maritiem polar air masses?
yes but also continental polar
Where is the polar front found?
The polar front is found in north Alaska and can sometimes be found as far south as Newfoundland!
What directions would polar and tropical air masses move in the southern hemisphere?
in the south, tropical air masses would be moving north or upwards. polar air mass would be moving sideways or west.
What are the four types of air masses that influence the weather in North America?
The four are Maritime tropical, Continental tropical, maritime polar, and Continental polar
Which types of air masses have the greatest effect on weather in north america?
Continental polar and maritime tropical.
What is the difference between polar and arctic air mass?
Arctic air masses come from the very far north usually way north of the arctic circle and can originate as far north as the north pole causing the coldest weather this is usually the coldest air mass with very little moisture arctic air masses exist anywhere from 75-90 degrease north this is why they are colder than a polar air mass . Polar air masses usually come from lower latitudes from around 65-73degress north this is there source of origin they cause cold winter temperatures with a lot of snow they are still cold air masses just not as bitingly cold as that of its further north component. Don't be fooled by the names even though it says polar its still coming from a further south origin compared to the arctic airmass. If i were the person who named these are masses i would say polar is colder than arctic but its just the way they label it.
