What else can I help you with?
What word would you use you describe an air mass that forms over Alaska?
I would use the word "polar" to describe an air mass that forms over Alaska. These air masses originate in the Arctic regions and bring cold temperatures and snow to the surrounding areas.
An air mass usually brings the weather of?
An air mass usually brings the weather of the region it originated from. For example, a warm air mass from the tropics will bring warm and humid weather, while a cold air mass from the Arctic will bring cold and dry conditions.
What direction do prevailing winds over Alaska and northern Canada carry cold dry air masses?
Prevailing winds over Alaska and northern Canada typically carry cold, dry air masses from the north or northwest, originating from the Arctic region. These winds are often associated with high pressure systems that bring clear skies and cold temperatures to the region.
When a cold air mass reaches a warm air mass the result is usually?
When a cold air mass reaches a warm air mass, the warm air is forced to rise over the cold air due to its higher density. This interaction can lead to the formation of clouds, precipitation, and potentially severe weather such as thunderstorms.
What kind of weather do continental polar air bring us in the winter?
Continental polar air masses originate over the inlands regions of Alaska and Canada. Although this air is usually just cold and dry, in some regions it can create precipitation. For example, if cP air passes over the Great Lakes in the late fall when the winter is still warm, the cold, dry air picks up moisture from the lakes, then deposits the moisture downwind from the lakes as heavy snow, called lake-effect snow.
When warm air approaching the cold air goes under or over the cold air?
The cold air is denser, so cold air usually sinks down, and warmer air will float to the top.
What word would you use you describe an air mass that forms over Alaska?
I would use the word "polar" to describe an air mass that forms over Alaska. These air masses originate in the Arctic regions and bring cold temperatures and snow to the surrounding areas.
Why does it snow in Washington and Alaska?
Because of the cold air from Canada and the wet air off the ocean when they meet snow happens
What would classify and air mass originating over Alaska and Canada?
An air mass originating over Alaska and Canada would be classified as a continental polar air mass due to its cold and dry characteristics.
What properties would an air mass have if it was over the ocean of Alaska most likely have?
An air mass over the ocean of Alaska would likely be cold and moist due to the influence of the cold waters of the Northern Pacific Ocean. This air mass could bring fog, low clouds, and precipitation to the region, contributing to the damp and chilly conditions often experienced in Alaska.
Whats the cold air intake for?
A cold air intake brings air into the engine. It usually consists of a plastic tube with a air filter on the end.
Why is the boundary between cold air and warm air called a cold front instead of a warm front?
Because it is usually the cold mass of air that is doing the moving/movement, usually from north to southeast because of the rotation of the earth.
When a cold front comes through what happens to the warm air?
When a cold front hits, usually the warm air rises.
Does warm air have more density tan cold air?
No, warm air is less dense than cold air. As air warms up, its molecules move faster and spread out, leading to a decrease in air density. Cold air, on the other hand, has slower-moving molecules that are closer together, making it denser.
Prevailing winds over Alaska and northern Canada carry cold dry air masses to the?
south and east.
Why there is less population density in Alaska?
I was born in ANCHORAGE! Alaska is extremely cold, even in the South. Women usually prefer WARM tropical temperatures. Alaska is also considered very Isolated from the rest of the worl.
What is warm fronts and cold fronts?
A cold front is a zone where cold air mass is advancing to replace warmer air; usually moves west to east in North America. A warm front is a zone where warm air mass is advancing to replace cold air; usually moves more slowly then a cold air mass.
