Question

question 1 of 15
what kind of air would be characteristic of a continental tropical air mass?

a. warm, dry

b. warm, humid

c. cold, dry

d. cold, wet

Explanation:

Continental tropical (cT) air masses form over tropical land areas. Tropical regions have warm temperatures, and land surfaces don't provide as much moisture as oceans, so the air is warm and dry. Option B (warm, humid) is typical of maritime tropical (mT) air masses (over tropical oceans). Options C (cold, dry) and D (cold, wet) don't match tropical (warm) conditions.

Answer:

A. Warm, dry
