Hot, dry and low pressure forms over hot deserts. Known as a tropical continental air mass.
An example of maritime tropical air mass is the air mass that forms over warm ocean waters such as the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean Sea. This air mass is warm, humid, and brings moisture to coastal regions, resulting in hot and muggy conditions.
The mass that forms over the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean is called a maritime tropical air mass. The source region for this air mass is labeled with the letter "m."
Hurricanes form over tropical waters and are earth's largest and most destructive storms.
