the air floats over the equator stupid
Probably because it is warmer and hence lighter.
Air Equator was created in 2003.
Confederation of the Equator happened in 1824.
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.
Doldrums form over the equator because of the high tempuratures. Doldrums are areas around the equator that receive little wind. Heating causes air to expand, creating a zone of low pressure. This concludes that cloudy weather and rain develop almost every single afternoon.
Hurricanes happen over hot water ... which is found close to the equator.
Probably because it is warmer and hence lighter.
near the equator, where the warmer temperatures lead to greater vertical expansion of the air.
Air Equator ended in 2005.
Air Equator was created in 2003.
mT, maritime tropic
Confederation of the Equator happened in 1824.
Clouds form as air rises at the equator.
Air masses get their characteristics from their source region, which is the surface/region over where it formed. For example, if an air mass formed over an ocean near the equator, it would be called a mT. m stands for maritime (ocean) and T stands for tropical (near the equator/hot). Hope this helps people.
Air rises at the equator and then flows northward. At about 30 degrees north latitude, the air sinks. When it reaches the surface, it flows south, back toward the equator. At the equator, the air rises again and the cycle starts all over.
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.
Constant heating from the sun causes air to rise, then flow away from the equator. Sinking air in the subtropics spreads out and some of it flows toward the equator. This creates a "cell" (Hadley Cell) of circulation that constantly generates rising air at the equator and therefore low pressure.
