What moves air masses?
Air masses in motion is the wind. They're caused by thermal energy, mostly. The sun heats the earth rather unevenly. The oceans and mountains cause airflow. Winds are usually a different temperature than the normal ambient. The prevailing winds (westerly) and jet stream are influenced by the earth's rotation.
What describes the movement of air in general?
doldrums,land breeze,polar easterlies,prevailing,westerlies,trade winds,and sea breeze.
What is prevailing easterlies?
The west-to-east winds that occur in the temperate zones of the earth. They carry warm moist air, bringing rain.
Where does the continental United states major wind belts generally push air masses?
The continental US major wind belts generally push air masses from west to east.
What direction do prevailing winds over Alaska and northern Canada carry cold dry air masses?
to the south and the east
How do tropical air masses affect North America?
prevailing westerlies are the main wind belts in north America so they push the air Masses from west to east
Where do the prevailing westerlies generally push air mases?

How do the prevailing westerlies change the climate of parts of the us and Canada?

google itin the continental united states air masses are commonly moved by the prevailing westerlies and jet sreamsthats just some cluesbut i think its continental poler but if not fix this question
What type of wind moves us air masses?

Air masses moving in the northern hemisphere are turned westward from their original paths?
Answer : Coriols effect
When cold air masses push against warm air masses what is formed?
