well, everyone knows that the most major one is pollution of the air. Burning of fossil fuels is a long, dangerous and complicating process. For starters, people get cancers because they work all day in mining the fossil fuels, because they literally breath and inhale it, therefore get terrible health issues. One, burning the fossils cause the air to become polluted, and thus literally changes our planet in horrible unimaginable ways. The burning of the fossils cause global warming and climate change because the burning releases carbon dioxide and other toxic greenhouse gases into our atmosphere, and thus trap heat in the atmosphere, literally burning us alive.

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.
