Q

An air mass that has moved down from Canada would most likely have which symbols?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Air mass source regions and what "continental" vs. "maritime" mean • Temperature types: polar (P) vs. tropical (T) air masses • Stability letters: k (colder than surface) vs. w (warmer than surface)

💭 Think About

• If the air mass came down from Canada, is it more likely to be cold or warm? Dry or moist? • Would air over land or over ocean better describe an air mass that formed over Canada? • When a cold air mass moves over a relatively warmer surface, which symbol indicates it is colder than the surface it is moving over?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether the correct first letter should be c (continental) or m (maritime) for Canadian source air • Decide whether the second letter should be P (polar) or T (tropical) based on Canadian latitude and typical temperatures • Confirm whether k (colder than the underlying surface) or w (warmer than the underlying surface) fits an air mass moving south from Canada over the U.S.
