An air mass if a distinct body that creates a homogeneous mixture of temperature, humidity, and stability that extends through the lower half of the atmosphere.
m --> maritime (wet)
c --> continental (dry)
A --> Arctic
P --> Polar
T --> Tropical
E --> Equatorial
AA --> Antarctic
The CONTINENTAL POLAR air mass only forms in the Northern Hemisphere. An area covered by this air mass (cP) in winter experiences cold, stable air, clear skies, high pressure, and antcyclonic wind flow.
The MARITIME POLAR air mass in the Northern Hemisphere sits over the Northern Oceans and are cool, moist, unstable, and prevail throughout the year.
There are two MARITIME TROPICAL air masses --> the mT Gulf/Atlantic + the mT Pacific
Hope that helps!

Eagles like to eat fish, rats, bunnies, pretty much any small prey that they can catch. I'm not quite sure they have a favorite food, but if they did it would probably be small rodents.
Divergent boundaries are formed when plates are pulling apart; this kind of force is called tension. The opposite boundary is a convergent boundary, where two plates collide; this happens near subduction zones. The force present in a transform boundary is shearing, which is when two things grind past each other.
Answer= convergent=shearing

Answer:
Option: C. Columbia
Explanation:

Hydroelectric power plants located on the river with generating capacity and contributed approx 44% of the total hydroelectric power in the nation. The steep slopes of the Columbia River and its streams make it ideal for the production of hydroelectric power.
