What type of air mass is responsible for fog and drizzle in coastal regions?
Low pressure
Is it true that a hurricanes get their heat and energy from seawater?
Yes, the hurricanes gain from mass a.k.a the sea water. This "mass" makes them stronger and stronger.
What happens to warm air as it takes over a cold air mass?
The warm air and cold air will end up combining and forming bad weather such as rain, tornadoes or other natural disaster's such as hurricanes or thunder storms.
What is a large body of air with relatively uniform properties?
This is an air mass.
Are fronts associated with hurricanes?
Hurricanes are tropical systems, which do not feature fronts. Fronts are associated with air mass boundaries, of which there are none in the tropics (the only air masses are tropical!). Mid-latitude cyclones feed on the energy generated by these boundaries, but hurricanes are very different animals. They feed primarily on latent heat generated from evaporating ocean water. There is a gray area when hurricanes move into higher latitudes and can transition into "extratropical cyclones", and can actually transition into more of a mid-latitude cyclone with fronts, but that is only when it moves out of the tropics.
Are maritime air masses hurricanes?
No. A maritime air mass is any air mass that originates over the ocean. A hurricanes is an intense tropical storm.
In which tour of air mass do hurricanes form?
Maritime Tropical
Can air have mass?
Yes air has mass. It is the mass of the air above a point on earth that is responsible for the air pressure.
What air mass cause the hurricanes and thunderstorm that occur on the east coast and in the Midwest?
It's the maritime polar mp
Which air mass is responsible for winter storms?
the fact of the bajth aoek aloo
What type of air mass is responsible for fog and drizzle in coastal regions?

Yes, the hurricanes gain from mass a.k.a the sea water. This "mass" makes them stronger and stronger.
Are atmospheric circulation patterns responsible for hurricanes?
yes
What happens to warm air as it takes over a cold air mass?
The warm air and cold air will end up combining and forming bad weather such as rain, tornadoes or other natural disaster's such as hurricanes or thunder storms.
Which air mass is responsible for our winter storms?
continental polar
Why do hurricanes and tornadoes need a mixture of cool and warm air?
Hurricanes don't. They form within a region of warm air that has relatively little temperature variation. Tornadoes, on the other hand, are commonly found ahead of a cold front. A cold front occur when a mass of cool air plows into a mass of warm air. The warmer air, which is less dense, is forced upward and cools as it rises. Moisture in the warm air mass condense to form rain shows and, if there is enough moisture, thunderstorms. If the storms are strong enough and conditions are right these storms may produce tornadoes.
When and where hurricanes form?
Hurricanes form over the ocean and when the water and air is warm or hot.
