What kinds of extreme weather occur often in the great plains?
because the region's continental climate creates an environment of extremes.
What do the characteristics of air masses depend on?
source region actually the answer is air masses are classified by a combination of words the 1st word represents where the air mass forms(maritime or continital) the 2nd is the temperature(polar or tropical)
What can happen when different air masses come in contact with one another over the Great Plains?
it creates wind movement
What controls air masses?
Ultimately - the Sun. The sun warms the atmosphere facing towards it. This reduces the air pressure, and cooler air moves in to equalise the pressure. This creates what we feel as wind.
Continental tropic air masses can be characterized by?
Continental Tropical air masses (cT) A continental tropical air mass forms in the interior of subtropical continents at about 15o to 35o north and south latitude. They are hot and dry air masses due to the temperature and moisture characteristics at their source region.
What is caused by rapidly expanding and contracting air masses?
=== ===

What are the characteristics of a source region?
A source region is an extensive region of the earth's surface where large masses of air having uniform temperature and humidity conditions characteristic of the region originate.
A region where air masses can form must be fairly?
Cold
What are the 5 types of air masses?
The five types of air masses are continental arctic, continental polar, maritime polar, maritime tropical, and continental tropical. These five air masses determine weather in a given region.
What is the narrow region separating two air masses of different densities?
Fronts
The region where warm and cold air masses meet is called?
A front (or air mass), resulting in weather.
What geographic region is the most common source region for the mT air masses that move into New York State?
no

What is one source region of a maritime polar air masses?
Antarctica
What is a source region?
A source region is an area of the earth's surface where large air masses having uniform temperature and humidity characteristic of the region originate.
What are characteristics of continental tropical air masses?
Continental Tropical air masses (cT) A continental tropical air mass forms in the interior of subtropical continents at about 15o to 35o north and south latitude. They are hot and dry air masses due to the temperature and moisture characteristics at their source region.
