E. All of the above.
continental air masses
why is the united states not a great place for air masses to form
yes
Scientists classify air masses according to their general characteristics and latitude. Artic air masses form at around 60 degrees latitude, Polar masses are at around 40 degrees latitude, warm tropical air masses are at 15 degrees latitude and very hot air masses form near the equator.
The kind of air mass that causes hot,humid weather are the air masses that form over places near the equator ! (Hope you have fun)
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.
Warm, humid
Maritime air masses, which form over the sea, are generally very humid. Continental air masses, which form over land, are almost always dry.Maritime air masses often bring warm, humid weather accompanied by thunderstorms. Continental air masses hot, humid weather.(Continental polar brings cold, dry weather. Maritime Polar brings cool, wet weather.)So in other words, the sea air because the desert air is hot and air expands and becomes lighter as it goes up and spreads.
Humid ones.
Cold air is more dense than warm air. This is why cold air masses tend to descend, and warm air masses tend to rise.
In The Online World It Says That, "Continental air masses are usually relatively dry and usually bring fair weather. Maritime air masses are usually humid and may bring precipitation."
Cold air is more dense than warm air. This is why cold air masses tend to descend, and warm air masses tend to rise.
Water vapor.
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.
