What happens to the air temperature of a descending air mass?
Generally, the air temperature of a descending air mass will increase. This is due to the incredible mount of pressure placed on it. Generally, the air mass will also experience an increase in humidity.
What kind of air mass causes hot humid weather?
A tropical air mass typically causes hot and humid weather. This air mass forms over warm tropical regions and carries high levels of heat and moisture, leading to sultry and sticky conditions when it moves into an area.
What are the four types of fronts?
Cold Front-When a fast moving cold air mass runs into a slowly moving warm air mass Warm Front-A fast moving warm air mass collides with a slow moving cold air mass Stationary Front-When a cold and a warm air mass meet, but neither one has enough force to move the other Occluded Front-When a warm air was is caught between two cold air masses
In which general direction is the hot and dry air mass most likely to move?
The hot and dry air mass is most likely to move in the direction where lower pressure systems exist. This typically means that it will move towards areas with cooler temperatures or where moist air masses are located.
What type of front occurs when a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet but does not move?
A stationary front occurs when a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet but remain in place, leading to prolonged periods of rain or other forms of precipitation.
How would Earth's motion likely affect an air mass?
If Earth didn't move, airmasses would float in straight lines. However, since Earth does in fact move, it causes air masses to arc.
When a cold air mass meets a warm air mass and does not move its called a what?
Stationary front
What happens to the air temperature of a descending air mass?
Generally, the air temperature of a descending air mass will increase. This is due to the incredible mount of pressure placed on it. Generally, the air mass will also experience an increase in humidity.
When a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet and a neither can move the other the result is a?
a tornado
What causes the counter clockwise flow of air in the after noon?
The land breeze causes the air to move counterclockwise
Which air mass causes snow?
An arctic air mass typically causes snow, as it brings cold temperatures and moisture to an area, resulting in the development of snowfall.
What air causes molecules to move slowly?
Extremely cold air.
What causes air to move with the earths surface?
convection
What causes a air mass to have a high pressure?
Anti-cyclone
What causes an air mass to have a high pressure?
Anti-cyclone
What causes air mass?
No single air mass "causes" tornadoes. This is Tornadoes form within thunderstorms. Thunderstorms form best when there is plentiful warm, moist air. So, a arm, moist air mass is usually present. Significant tornado activity, however, usually results from the thunderstorms that form near the boundaries between air masses. Usually where a warm, moist air mass meets a cooler or drier air mass.
When a cold air mass and a warm air mass meet and neither can move the other the result is a?
A stationary front is formed when a cold air mass and a warm air mass meet but neither can move the other. This results in a boundary where the two air masses remain in place, creating a mix of weather conditions along the front.
