What are the two characteristics of an air mass you must know in order to identify it?
Moisture and Temperature
What are the four major types of air masses according to moisture content?
Precipitation
Why do heated air masses above the equator move north and south to cooler areas?
Heated air masses above the equator and is moved due to the rotation of the earth on it's axis. This actual helps to deflect the movement of air over diffrent parts of the planet creatomg global patterns of prevailing winds distributing heat and moisture in the atmosphere.
What effect describes the climatic process by which mountains force moisture from passing air masses by leaving the downwind side of a mountain range drier than the upwind side?
Rain Shawdow Effect
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.
How are are masses classified?

What are two characteristics of air?
Air masses are usually horizontal and uniform. They moisture and temperature content are also uniform as well. When two air masses are separated it is called a front.

What are the process in which nuclei with small masses are combined to form a nucleus with a larger mass?
Combining the nuclei of atoms is called Nuclear Fusion. A reaction that is found in stars.

Air masses are identified on the basis of temperature and what?
moisture content
What are two properties that characterize air masses?
Temperature and moisture
Pangea broke apart and the land masses drifting creating a process called?
Continental drift.
How are air masses that form over land different from air masses that form over water?
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.
