Want this question answered?
the continental air is found in high temperature regions. the maritime air is found in low temperature regions.
Air masses are based more on temperature. Humidity is the other component however, not precipitation.
A front is a boundary separating two air masses that differ in density, temperature, and humidity.
No. An air mass is a large mass of air with given characteristics of temperature and humidity that distinguish it from surrounding air masses. A front is the boundary between two air masses. For example, a cold front marks were a cold air mass moves in and pushes a warmer one out of the way.
Polar air masses are cooler than tropical air masses because they originate from high-latitude regions closer to the poles, where temperatures are generally colder. Conversely, tropical air masses originate from low-latitude regions near the equator, where temperatures are generally warmer. This temperature difference between the two regions accounts for the inherent temperature contrast between polar and tropical air masses.
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.
they have changes in temperature, pressure, wind speed, and direction and humidity.
In the spring air masses with a large temperature or humidity difference collide frequently. This causes the strong thunderstorms that can spawn tornadoes.

Heat is transferred from one object to the other.

A front, or boundary between two air masses, is typically characterized by clouds and precipitation. The amount and type of precipitation typically depends on the temperature and moisture difference between the two air masses. Generally speaking, stronger temperature/moisture differences mean more clouds and precipitation.
instead of working on science try your english. btw tornado
In addition to their overall temperature air masses are classified according to the surface over which they form. continental air masses form over land, and are likely to be dry. Maritime air masses form over water and are humid. Polar air masses form at high altitudes and are cold. Tropical air masses form at low latitudes and are warm
