What do continental masses form over?

Continental Masses form over Land.


Where do continental polar air masses come from?

Continental polar air masses originate over cold, dry regions in the northern hemisphere, such as northern Canada and Siberia. These air masses form when cold air masses move southward from the polar regions and become isolated over land, leading to cooling and drying.


Cold moist air masses that form over the northern oceans are called .?

How are maritime polar and continental polar different?

Continental polar and continental tropical are alike in that they are dry air masses. The different between the two is that the continental polar is a cool air mass while the tropical is a very hot mass of air.

What is the four different air masses?

The 4 major air masses are continental polar (cP), continental tropical (cT), marine polar (mP) and marine tropical (mT). Generally, continental air masses are drier than marine air masses, and polar air masses are cooler than tropical air masses. cT air masses are relatively limited in distribution existing in the south west North America and North Africa.


Where do maritime tropical maritime polar continental tropical continental polar come from?

Maritime tropical (mT) air masses originate over warm ocean waters in tropical regions, bringing humid and warm conditions. Maritime polar (mP) air masses form over cold ocean waters in polar regions, resulting in cool and damp weather. Continental tropical (cT) air masses develop over hot, dry land areas, leading to warm and dry conditions. Continental polar (cP) air masses arise over cold land areas in polar regions, producing cold and dry air.


Where does a continental polar air masses form?

A continental polar air mass forms over land in northern Canada. A continental polar air mass forms inland from the oceans of Northern Russia, Siberia and Northern Canada.


Where does continental tropical form?

Continental tropical air masses form over hot, arid regions near the equator, such as the Sahara Desert in Africa or the southwestern United States. These air masses are characterized by high temperatures and low humidity.


What are the characteristics of the four types of air masses?

there is maritime, tropical, continental, and polar, (correct me if im wrong) maritime means over the ocean, tropical means near the equator continental means over land, and polar means far from the equator
