What are the two characteristics of an air mass you must know in order to identify it?
Moisture and Temperature
How is moisture content and temperature of an air mass determined?
By The source region
How does a moisture meter give a reading of the moisture content of wood?
By passing an electrical current from one pin to the other. The greater the moisture content, the higher the resistance. By measuring the resistance, it gives an estimate of the average moisture content. I think. 2009/03/14 - Correct, but exactly backwards .... Moisture (water) can be a conductor. Dry wood is an insulator. The higher the moisture content, the lower the resistance and vice-versa. Wood with a high moisture content gives a low resistance to the tester and conducts the test voltage better.
What are the four major types of air masses according to moisture content?
Precipitation
Why does an updraft within a thundercloud tend to rise higher if the air has a higher moisture content?
The moisture content is not the only factor. it has to do with the temperature of the air. WARM AIR RISES, Cool air falls. the air in the updraft is warmer than the air around it. The greater difference in temp means faster and greater updrafts

Moisture and Temperature
Air masses are identified on the basis of temperature and what?
moisture content
How is moisture content and temperature of an air mass determined?
By The source region
How does wind direction affect moisture content?
Wind direction is the direction which the wind blows. If the wind direction is coming from an arid region, such as a desert, the air will be dry and moisture content will be low. If the wind direction is coming from an ocean, lake, or tropical area, the air will have a higher moisture content.
What is a hyrometer?
It measures the moisture content based on temperature, humidity, and other factors.
Air masses are identified on the basis of temperature and?
moisture content
Temperature in the air is increased by the process of moisture condensation?
Yes, temperature in the air has more moisture content . Due to the condensation of particles in the humidity liberates the particle which has high heat particles which increases the temperature.
Is tropical water hard water?
Tropical refers to the temperature of the water; aquariums can be tropical and hard, or tropical and soft water. Water hardness is simply a measure of the mineral content of the water.
Why you are doing initial moisture content critical moisture content and equilibrium moisture content test?
if we know initial moisture content of the object we can identify how much drying energy required for dry the same moist material. if it is a food material we have to reduce the moisture content upto certain level, otherwise it may be destroyed. if we know the initial moisture content of same food object, we can reduce its moisture content upto 10% of its initial moisture content.
What would be the most likely cause for the movement of air shown?
low moisture content and low temperature
What is meant by equilibrium sorption isotherm?
it is a relationship between moisture content & water activity in a constent temperature
Maximum bulking in sand and in what moisture content?
The maximum bulking of sand is in 13% to 14% moisture content. It's likely to be 13.8% moisture content.
