No, the answer is C. If it was A and the air cools, then why are deserts hot? The answer is C because as air rises it heats up and lose a its moisture through evaporation, leaving hot dry air for the deserts. This is called the rain shadow effect, where one side of the mountain is moist and cool and the other side is a desert.

A CT air mass is <br><br>hot and wet <br>cold and dry <br>hot and dry <br>cold and wet ​
Arturiano [62]

The correct answer is - hot and dry.

The CT air masses are air masses that originate from deep inside the land masses in the tropical regions of the Earth. The ''C'' actually stands for continental, thus indicating the formation of the air mass over a land mass, while the ''T'' stands for tropical, thus indicating the tropical region of where the land mass over which this air mass forms.

Because these air masses form over land in the tropics, they are hot and dry. The hot and dry characteristics come from the bigger heating of the land masses, as well as the lack of water vapor over the land masses.
