What is the definition of continental arctic air mass?

What is the definition of the word continental collision?
Continetal collision is when 2 different tectonic plates collide i believe.
What is the definition of continental crust?
The definition of continental crust would be the top crust that Is the first layer of crust made of rock and is the thinest layer +++ Is this in the correct category? The continental crust is that forming the bulk of the continents, primarily granite, and thicker than the basalt ocean-floor crust. Both float on the thinner aesthenosphere, the top layer of the Mantle which forms the planet's bulk.
What is the definition of cryosphere?
It ice, or glaciers in cold places were it snows. Example: Snowy mountains have cryosphere.
What forms at continental-continental plate boundries?
Mountains
The Continental Divide is located along the top of which mountains?
The North American Continental Divide is located along the top of the Rocky Mountains.
Match the mountains with the type of collision that formed them?

Which feature can be produced at an ocean-continental convergence?
Parallel belts of folded mountains and volcanic mountains
What was formed by the Rocky Mountains and separates rivers flowing east and west in North America?
The Continental divide is located in the rocky Mountains and when you travel east to west or west to east you will see a sign in the rocky Mountains that says "you have reached the Continental divide".
Could the Himalaya mountains be formed into a continental-continental convergence?
The Himalayas are formed from a continental to continental plate convergence.
Definition of mountain man?
There are mainly two kinds of mountains, namely fold mountains and block mountains. Fold mountains are formed when a continental plate collides with either another continental plate or an oceanic plate. One example of a continental-continental collision is the collision of the Eurasian plate and the Indo-Australian plate, forming the Himalayas fold mountains range which contains Mt. Everest and K2. One example of a oceanic continental collision is the collision of the Nazca plate and the South American plate, forming the Andes mountains. ---- Block mountains are formed when two plate diverge from each other and sink downwards, leaving a highland in the middle of them. That is a block mountain. You might find this useful, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountains.
