temperature, pressure, and moisture
When pressure is increased on a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, the volume of the gas will decrease. This is known as Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional when temperature is held constant.
When an air mass moves into a new region, it can be modified by the characteristics of the surface it encounters. The air mass may pick up moisture, change temperature, and experience different pressure conditions based on the new surface features such as land or water. This can lead to changes in weather patterns in the region.
characteristic temperature, moisture content, and stability to that location. This can lead to changes in weather patterns as the air mass interacts with the local environment.

No, loess is a fine, silty soil deposited by the wind, not a mass of roots. The roots of prairie grasses helped hold the soil in place and retain moisture.
If a cool air mass comes in on a hot day, and if there is enough moisture, you can generally expect showers and thunderstorms.
When a mass of moist air rises, it cools and expands due to lower pressure at higher altitudes. As it cools, the water vapor within the air condenses into tiny droplets, forming clouds and potentially leading to precipitation. If the air is forced to descend, it warms and can hold more moisture, often resulting in clear skies. Changes in temperature and pressure can also cause changes in humidity, affecting weather patterns.
Air temperature rises because the air compresses and warms adiabatically (simply because pressure increases). But no moisture is being added or removed from the air, so the dew point and absolute/specific humidity do not change. What changes is relative humidity, which lowers, due to the warmer air being able to hold more moisture.

As a sinking air mass descends, it experiences an increase in pressure, which leads to an increase in temperature. Since the dew point temperature is a measure of the moisture content in the air, the dew point generally remains constant unless moisture is added or removed. However, as the air warms, its capacity to hold moisture increases, which can lead to a decrease in relative humidity. Therefore, while the dew point itself may not change significantly, the conditions can lead to drier air relative to the temperature.
