Question

step 2: visualizing air mass
directions: draw how air pressure affects air mass. one drawing will be an air mass with cold temperatures, and another will be an air mass with warm temperatures. air moves. therefore, draw the two air masses and how they will move due to air pressure. be sure to use arrows, color, and labels to explain your ideas clearly. on your diagram, draw air mass as a blob and label your air mass by its symbol (example: mp).

air mass type	temperature	humidity	forms over	air pressure
continental	cold	low	land	cold

drawing 1: cold temperatures. be sure to add the weather associated with the air mass.

air mass type	temperature	humidity	forms over	air pressure
maritime	warm	wet	water	low

drawing 2: warm temperatures. be sure to add the weather associated with the air mass.
drawing 3: air moves. combine the two air masses above. provide a brief explanation of how the air masses will move due to air pressure. be sure to add the weather associated with each air mass.

Explanation:

Step1: Draw Cold - Air Mass

Draw a blob representing the continental cold air mass. Label it with the appropriate symbol (e.g., cA). Use arrows to show air moving outwards from the high - pressure cold air mass. Add weather details like clear skies and cold temperatures around the blob.

Step2: Draw Warm - Air Mass

Draw a blob for the maritime warm air mass. Label it (e.g., mT). Use arrows to show air rising from the low - pressure warm air mass. Add weather details like clouds and possibly precipitation around the blob.

Step3: Combine and Show Movement

Draw the two air masses side by side. Draw arrows to show the cold air mass moving towards the warm air mass due to the pressure difference. The cold air will undercut the warm air. Indicate the weather associated with each air mass in the combined drawing, such as a cold front forming where the two meet.

Answer:

The drawings should be made as described above with proper labeling, arrows, and weather details added for each air - mass scenario.
