Continental air masses form in the United States
Maritime polar, maritime tropical, continental polar, & continental tropical
the continental tropical is made up of the warm, dry air from Mexico
Under oceans its five km and on continental masses its thirty five to sixty five km
Glaciers can form U shaped valleys.
This is ultimately the result of temperature differences; the energy comes from sunlight. Note that air masses need to travel in BOTH directions, since the air can't just accumulate in one place.
