What is an air mass that forms over dry land?
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
Continental polar maritime polar continental tropical and maritime tropical are types of?
Those are types of air masses.
Polar air masses are cooler than tropical air masses because the place where they start I what?
Polar air masses are cooler than tropical air masses because they originate from high-latitude regions closer to the poles, where temperatures are generally colder. Conversely, tropical air masses originate from low-latitude regions near the equator, where temperatures are generally warmer. This temperature difference between the two regions accounts for the inherent temperature contrast between polar and tropical air masses.
What are the 4 main types of air masses that affect weather?
maritime polar, maritime tropical, continental tropical, and continental polar
Describe the four main types of air masses affect the weather of North America?
The four are Maritime tropical, Continental tropical, maritime polar, and Continental polar
How are continental tropical and continental polar air masses and how are they different?
the continental tropical and continental polar air masses both come from land, are humid and their differences are polar is cool air while tropical is warm air
How are continental tropical and continental polar masses alike and how are they different?
the continental tropical and continental polar air masses both come from land, are humid and their differences are polar is cool air while tropical is warm air
What is the four different air masses?
The 4 major air masses are continental polar (cP), continental tropical (cT), marine polar (mP) and marine tropical (mT). Generally, continental air masses are drier than marine air masses, and polar air masses are cooler than tropical air masses. cT air masses are relatively limited in distribution existing in the south west North America and North Africa.

What is five types of air masses?
the four different types of air masses are continental polar,and tropical. maritime tropical, and polar. the 5 kinds ofair masses are: Cp: continental polar Ct: continental tropical Ca: continental artic Mp: maritime polar Mt: maritime tropical (Ma:maritime artic) maritime artic is much less common than the other air masses, because very cold air is less likely to be moist.
What are the main types of air masses?
Maritime polar, maritime tropical, continental polar, & continental tropical
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.
Which type of air mass brings cool humid weather to the West Coast of the United states?
Maritime tropical air masses, Maritime polar air masses, Continental polar air masses, or Continental tropical air masses.
What is an air mass that forms over dry land?
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
What are natural massess?
continetal polar, maritime polar, continental tropical, and maritime tropical are the 4 air masses.
Continental polar maritime polar continental tropical and maritime tropical are types of?
Those are types of air masses.
