Where are the source regions for the Maritime tropical air masses that affect North America?
The source region for the maritime tropical air mass originate over the warm waters of the southern Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.
What global latitude zone does not have source regions for air masses?
The tropics.
How do the source regions of polar and tropical air masses differ?
They Esketit
Two vast areas of air have different temperatures and pressures but within the regions the temperatures and pressures are similar. The line where these regions are colliding is called a(n)?
Air masses or weather front is when two regions of air are colliding and they have different temperatures and pressures are similar.
What type of air mass is responsible for fog and drizzle in coastal regions?
Low pressure
The temperature and humidity of an air mass depend primarily on the source region of the air mass?
yes it does, it takes on the characteristics of its region.
If an area is described as a good air mass source region and what information can you give about it?
Good air-mass source regions are dominated by high pressure where subsidence forces air towards the surface. These high pressures also enable air to move outward from the source region.
Where are the source regions for the maritime polar air mass?
Over the northern Atlantic and the northern Pacific oceans.
An air mass gets its characteristic properties from an area known as the .?
Air masses get properties of the surface beneath them from areas known as source regions. Individual regions span several million square miles in size.
What do the characteristics of air masses depend on?
source region actually the answer is air masses are classified by a combination of words the 1st word represents where the air mass forms(maritime or continital) the 2nd is the temperature(polar or tropical)
Where are the source regions for the Maritime tropical air masses that affect North America?
The source region for the maritime tropical air mass originate over the warm waters of the southern Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.
What are the boundaries of air mass called?
An air mass is a large body of air that has relatively uniform temperature and humidity characteristics. The regions where air masses form are referred to as air mass source regions. If air remains over a source region long enough, it will acquire the properties of the surface below. Ideal source regions are regions that are generally flat and of uniform composition. Examples include central Canada, Siberia, the northern and southern oceans and large deserts.
Describe the air mass that forms over the waters of Atlantic ocean what letter designate the source region of the air mass?
Air Mass
What global latitude zone does not have source regions for air masses?
The tropics.
How do source regions of polar and tropical air masses differ?

An air mass usually brings the weather of?
An air mass usually brings weather of its source region.
