An air mass that forms in the north Atlantic ocean in winter over cold water and then comes ashore is a Continental polar (cP) or continental arctic (cA).

These air masses are chill, dehydrated, dry, and stable. These develop over northern Canada and Alaska as a consequence of radiational cooling. They drive southward, east of the Rockies into the Plains, then eastward.

Air masses are also determined and established on whether they develop over land or over water. Maritime air masses form over the water and are moist. Continental air masses form over land and are dry. Thus, an air mass that extends over northern Canada is named a continental polar air mass and is cold and dry.

How is Earth’s structure related to the creation of continents, oceans, and mountain ranges?
tigry1 [53]
The topmost layer of the earth (aside from the atmospher) would be the crust. It is made up of tectonic plates that move in different directions. The collisons and abrasions made by these plates sliding and crashing into each other means that mountain ranges pop up like wrinkles, and continents can move around over time. This happens over millions of years.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

B. China has a large population , so its GDP per person is only modest

Explanation:

Despite being one of the countries with highest GDP's in the world, and experiencing enormous economic development in the past few decades, China's population is still not having the same level of financial power as the other countries with high GDP's. The main reason for this is that China has enormous population, being the most populated country in the world with over 1.3 billion people. Because of the enormous population, when the money are redistributed to everyone, it turns out that China is still at a level of a developing country. Not to make mistake, China's population has much higher standard of living than what it had few decades ago, so the people live much better, but the country still has a long way to go to reach the GDP's per capita that the other countries have.
