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.

warm front,occluded front,stationary front and lastly cold front. Those are the type of air masses! ok hi im a different person than who actually wrote the first part of the answer well all i could say is that all that is listed are fronts noy air masses the four air masses are continental, maritime, tropical, and polar and this is right and ure welcome because the other person didnt know the answer.

Other air masses are equatorial (E) and continental arctic (cA). The cA air masses are generally colder and drier than the cP air masses.

Air masses are classified according to their maritime source regions and their latitude. Different air masses affect different parts of the world.


How are air masses that form over land different from air masses over land?

These air masses are different due to their temperatures. Air masses over water tend to be bigger because of faster evaporation and faster condensation. I hope I helped! I'm covering this subject in science.


How do air masses of different pressures and temperatures move around?

Air masses of different pressures and temperature move around the Earth. The cold air masses that form at the poles move toward the equator, while the warm air masses that form at the equator move toward the poles.
