Continental tropical air masses originate in northern Mexico. They are characterized by clear skies and negligible rainfall. If one moves into the Great Plains and stagnates, a severe drought can result. Air masses can be modified significantly as they pass over regions with different characteristics.


In meteorology, an air mass is a volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content. Air masses cover many hundreds or thousands of miles, and adapt to the characteristics of the surface below them. They are classified according to latitude and their continental or maritime source regions. Colder air masses are termed polar or arctic, while warmer air masses are deemed tropical. Continental and superior air masses are dry while maritime and monsoon air masses are moist. Weather fronts separate air masses with different density (temperature and/or moisture) characteristics. Once an air mass moves away from its source region, underlying vegetation and water bodies can quickly modify its character. Classification schemes tackle an air mass' characteristics, as well as modification.

In your own words Describe how autotrophs and heterotrophs obtain energy. please this answer must be at least 150 words any one
blsea [12.9K]

The autotrophs are the primary producer in the food chain and they are the ones who initiate the food chain. They produce food by using sunlight or sometimes chemical energy or reactions. They primarily use carbon dioxide, sunlight and water to form sugars or carbohydrates which become their energy source. They use the process of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to generate food. Examples of autotrophs are green plants, green algae, bacteria.

Heterotrophs cannot make their food via sunlight or other inorganic sources and hence are dependent on the autotrophs or other animals. The heterotrophs have been ranked as secondary and tertiary consumers and cannot be producers.  They consume the organic products made by autotrophs to obtain energy for various metabolic and biological activities. The heterotrophs can be herbivore, carnivore, fungi, parasitic plants.

Some are photo-hetrotrophs,  who use light as energy but cannot use carbon  dioxide as the carbon source since they cannot fix the carbon like autotrophs.
