What is an air mass that forms over dry land?
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
Where continental polar air masses form?
over northern Canada and Alaska
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 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.
Where do continental polar air masses come from?
Continental polar air masses originate over cold, dry regions in the northern hemisphere, such as northern Canada and Siberia. These air masses form when cold air masses move southward from the polar regions and become isolated over land, leading to cooling and drying.
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 are the 5 types of air masses?
The five types of air masses are polar, tropical, maritime, continental, and arctic. Polar air masses are cold and dry, tropical air masses are warm and dry, maritime air masses are warm and moist, continental air masses are dry and cold, and arctic air masses are extremely cold and dry.
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
Continental polar maritime polar continental tropical and maritime tropical are types of?
Types of air masses that are characterized by their temperature and humidity characteristics. Continental polar and maritime polar air masses are cold and moist, while continental tropical and maritime tropical air masses are warm and humid. These air masses determine the weather conditions when they interact with each other.
What air masses are in alaska?

Where do continental air masses form?
Continental air masses form in the United States
