A list of polar and tropical air masses?
an air mass is a small volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content. Air masses cover many hundreds or thousands of square miles, and adopt the characteristics of the surface below them. They are classified according to latitude and their continental or maritime source regions. Colder air masses are termed polar or arctic, while warmer air masses are deemed tropical. Continental and superior air masses are dry while maritime and monsoon air masses are moist. Weather fronts separate air masses with different density (temperature and/or moisture) characteristics. Once an air mass moves away from its source region, underlying vegetation and water bodies can quickly modify its character. Classification schemes tackle an air mass' characteristics, and well as modification...
Where do continental polar air masses come from?
They form near central and northern canada
What describes and air mass with the symbol C T?
A cP (continental polar) air mass is generally cool and dry.
When was tiger in a tropical storm made?
I really don't under stand the question but tigers have be come popular in the tropical area.
When the air get warmer the air pressure drops?
If you mean why does the air get warmer as the air pressure drops then that is an easily answered question. first we must look at what air pressure is, air pressure is the weight of air pushing down on the earth and when it goes down, the air must therefore be exerting less pressure on the earth and hence the air rises (vice versa for air pressure rise, the air is sinking and therefore exerting more pressure on the Earth's surface) The air gets warmer as it rises as in a depression or anticyclone in the mid-latitudinal zone the air rises and is warmed by the tropical air mass, whether that air mass be tropical maritime or tropical continental, these air masses come from the southern hemisphere and the tropics, meaning the air in it is warm and so as air rises it is heated by this air mass. hope this has helped.
How are maritime polar and continental polar different?
Continental polar and continental tropical are alike in that they are dry air masses. The different between the two is that the continental polar is a cool air mass while the tropical is a very hot mass of air.

Why do tornadoes form when continental and a Polar form?
The terminology here is a bit confused. In weather there are 4 basic types of large-scale air mass: Continental polar air masses come off the land in cold regions and are cool and dry. Maritime polar masses come off the ocean and are cool and somewhat moist. Continental tropical air masses come of the land from warm regions and are warm and dry. Finally maritime tropical masses come off of warm oceans and are warm and moist. When a continental polar air mass pushes into a maritime tropical air mass it forms a cold front. Since cold air is denser than warm air, the tropical air mass is forced upwards. This can trigger thunderstorms. Under the right conditions these storms can produce tornadoes.
