False. Air masses that form over land are typically dry because they originate from continental areas. In contrast, air masses that form over large bodies of water, such as oceans, tend to be moist due to evaporation.
Continental Masses form over Land.
continental air masses
Maritime tropical: Warm and moist air masses originating over tropical oceans. Maritime polar: Cool and moist air masses originating over cold ocean waters. Continental tropical: Warm and dry air masses originating over hot and dry land areas. Continental polar: Cold and dry air masses originating over cold land areas.
Maritime air masses form over the sea. They acquire moisture from the ocean, which influences their characteristics and leads to typically humid conditions. When these air masses move over land, they can bring precipitation and affect local weather patterns. Conversely, air masses that form over land are classified as continental and are generally drier.
True. Air masses that form over tropical regions are typically warm due to the high temperatures associated with these areas. They gather heat and moisture from the warm land or ocean surfaces, leading to the characteristic warm and humid conditions when they move into other regions.
They can do, if there are lots of forests to fill the air with water vapor (hence "rain" forest).

Continental Masses form over Land.
Air masses are formed primarily over large, uniform areas of land or water. Continental polar air masses form over cold, dry land regions, while maritime tropical air masses form over warm, moist ocean regions. They can also be influenced by factors like temperature, humidity, and wind patterns in the region where they originate.

Yes, tornadoes typically form over land. They are generated by severe thunderstorms that develop over land when there is a combination of warm, moist air at the surface and cool, dry air aloft. The interaction of these air masses can trigger the formation of a tornado.
maritime tropical.the type of air mass that is moist and warm is, i think, are clouds.
Two land masses crunching together will form mountains E.g. Himalayas
Some of the land masses that were part of Pangaea include Laurasia, Gondwana, Angaraland, and Siberia. These land masses eventually broke apart and drifted to form the continents we have today.

Continental tropical: Warm and dry air masses originating over hot and dry land areas. Continental polar: Cold and dry air masses originating over cold land areas.
