Continental air masses.
Tropical air masses form over water.
A hot air mass that forms over land is called a continental air mass.
Continental air masses form over land. These air masses are typically dry, as they have little moisture content due to the lack of proximity to water bodies. They are characterized by their stable and homogeneous characteristics.
polar air mass (meteorology), air mass that forms over land or water in the higher latitudes.
A continental tropical air mass is dry and warm because it forms over land near the equator where the sun's rays are intense, leading to warming and evaporation of moisture.
An air mass that forms over Canada is typically classified as a continental polar (cP) air mass. This type of air mass is characterized by cool, dry conditions due to its formation over land in the northern latitudes. It can bring chilly temperatures and clear skies to regions it moves into, especially during the winter months. If the air mass travels southward, it may influence weather patterns in the United States.

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.

Air Mass
A continental tropical air mass is dry and warm because it forms over hot and dry land areas. As the air mass sits over these regions, it heats up and loses moisture, resulting in low humidity levels and warm temperatures.
A continental tropical air mass is dry and warm because it forms over land near the equator where the sun's rays are intense, leading to warming and evaporation of moisture.
The warm air mass that develops over land influencing weather in the US is the continental tropical air mass. It forms over warm, dry areas and brings hot and dry conditions to the region it affects.
