What is the Continental tropical temperature and humidity?
the temperature is warm and humidity is dry
Is the humidity high or low in a continental polar air mass?
high pressure
What is an air mass that forms over dry land?
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
Why polar air described as dry when the relative humidity of that air is very high?
Temperature of polar is such low and much closer to the dew point, so the relative humidity is high. But low dew point let little water vapor be hold by the air, so it is dry.
What is the relationship between temperature and relative humidity.?
The temperature determines the humidity.
What humidity is continental polar?
I have no idea
What air mass is associated with low relative humidity and high air temperature?
the answer is continental tropical
What is the Continental tropical temperature and humidity?
the temperature is warm and humidity is dry
Is the humidity high or low in a continental polar air mass?
high pressure
How would temperature and humidity at a given location change when a maritime tropical air mass is replaced by a continental polar air mass?
The temperature would go from being in the 80s and 90s to the 60s and 50s due to the coldness of the polar air. The temperature would decrease. The humidity would decrease also because it goes from being warm and moist to cold and dry.
Is subarctic colder than humid continental?
The lower the air temperature the lower the humidity, generally.
Why is cold polar air described as dry when the relative humidity of that air is very high?
The polar air has a high relative humidity due to the temperature of the polar region being close to the dew point temperature. The closer the dew point temperature is to the surrounding temperature, the higher is the relative humidity. The air in the polar region is considered dry as the dew point temperature is low. Low dew point indicates low water vapor content. So since the dew point in the north pole is low, it has a low water vapor content in the air, resulting in it being dry.
What is an air mass that forms over dry land?
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
What are four types of air masses that affected the US?
maritime polar, continental polar, maritime tropical, and continental tropical
Which type of air mass would most likely have low humidity and high air temperature?
cT (continental tropical)
What is the temperature in continental polar?
Cold, but I haven't found exact temperatures. Also, very little moisture.
What air mass is indicated by composed of cold dry air?
The Continental Polar is composed of cold dry air.
