Identify the air mass that causes droughts and forest fires. cT mP cE mAA Identify from this list the weather front or air mass boundary that forms in each of the cases described below. coastal front cold front warm front dry line upper-level front The warm tropical air mass originating from northern Mexico and the tropical air mass from the Gulf of Mexico meet over Oklahoma. The warm maritime tropical air mass originating from the Gulf of Mexico flows into the US. and tries to replace the cool maritime polar air mass that flows from the northeast. The cold heavy air descending from Rossby waves over the United States meets aloft the warm maritime tropical (mT) air mass from the Gulf of Mexico. The boundary between the cold air that spills into the Appalachian Valley and the warm maritime tropical air mass (mT) from the Atlantic Ocean. The cold continental polar air mass (cP) from Canada blows southwards and collides head-on with the warm maritime tropical air mass (mT

Explanation / Answer

18. identify the airmass that causes trought and forest fire.

answer-(a) ct , because ct is the continental tropical air masses which produce dry conditions which are reason behind the drought climatic condition . forest fire is also a result of the ct climatic conditions

19. the warm tropical air mass originating from northern Mexico and the tropical air mass from the Gulf of Mexico meet over Oklahama

answer- (E) upper level front

20. The warm maritime tropical air mass originating from the Gulf of Mexico flows into the U.S> and triies to replace the cool maritime polar air mass that flows from the northeast.

answer- (c) warm current

21. The cold heavy air decending from Rossby waves over the United States meets aloft the warm maritime tropical air mass from the Gulf of Mexico

answer- (a) coastal front

22. The boundary between the cold air that spills into the Appalachian Valley and the warm maritime tropical air mass from the Atlantic ocean.

answer- (d) dry line

23. the cold continental polar air mass from Canada blows southwards and collides head on with the warm maritime tropical air mass from southern United States

answer - (B) cold front
