What are Air masses that form over land are called?
continental air masses
What is an air mass that forms over dry land?
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
How do air masses that form over the land and ocean affect weather in the Unnited States?
Air masses can affect the weather because different air masses differ in temperature, density, and moisture content.
Where do moist air masses form over?
Moist air masses usually form over warm tropical oceans.
What type of air masses would form over the northern Atlantic?
Maritime polar air masses.
How are air masses that form over land similar from air masses form over water?

Do maritime air masses form over land?
No. If something is maritime, then it has to do with the ocean. Maritime air masses form over water.
What is an air mass that forms over dry land?
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
How are air masses that form over land different from air masses over land?
These air masses are different due to their temperatures. Air masses over water tend to be bigger because of faster evaporation and faster condensation. I hope I helped! I'm covering this subject in science.
How do air masses that form over the land?
it affects it by when the weather is foggy or clear
