The correct answer is A. cA air masses are colder than cP air masses.
Explanation:
In geography, air masses refer to uniform bodies of air that have specific characteristics especially in terms of temperature and moisture. This includes different air masses such as the continental arctic masses (cA), the continental polar (cP), the continental tropical (cT), the maritime tropical (mT) and the maritime polar (mP). In the case fo the continental arctic masses (cA) these are extremely cold with a temperature range from -55 to -35 °C also, they are dry and stable, these type of masses are similar to continental polar masses (cP), although these are not as cold or as dry as artic ones as they had a temperature range from -35 to -20 °C. Thus, the correct statement is "cA air masses are colder than cP air masses".
<u>Inversion is found in upper layer sf troposphere.</u>
Explanation:
When there is a decrease temperature t every 3.5 degrees for every 100 feet. As when this normal cycle is present the air said to be unstable and constantly flows between the warm and cold areas.
During inversion temperature decrease with the increasing altitudes. temperature inversion can occur in areas of coastal origins due to the upwelling of cold waters.
Topography plays a role as cold and cool air flows from the mountain peaks down into valleys. This cold air then is pushed back due to the warm and lighter air mass and hence creating an invention.
Inversions can also form in areas with significant snow cover as the ground is cold white color reflects most of the sunlight.
