5 air masses that affect the united states are continental polar(cP), continental arctic(cA), continental tropical(cT),maritime polar(mP) and maritime tropical(mT).
The source of origin of cP is the snowy regions of Canada and Alaska ,of cA is the Arctic basin, of cT is Mexico and south west US, of mP is the Northern Pacific Ocean and mT is the Gulf of Mexico,the Carribean sea,western Atlantic and subtropical Pacific.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Air masses are volumes of air that has uniform characteristics. Air masses are divided into two based on its moisture content. They are continental air mass and maritime air mass which are dry and moist respectively.
The first letter in the abbreviation of an air mass denoted whether the air mass is continental or maritime. The letter c represents continental air mass and letter m represents maritime air mass. The source of origin of the air mass is represented by the second letter in the abbreviation of the air mass.
Air mass with tropics as the source of origin is represented by the letter T, air mass with equator as the source is represented by letter E, air mass with pole as the source is represented by the letter P and air mass with the Arctic or Antarctic as the source is represented by the letter A.
Carbohydrate!!! That is glucose.
Answer:
Ocean currents act much like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, ocean currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.
Answer: SPORES are defined as haploid (1n) cells which develops into gametophytes.
Gametophytes inturn produce either haploid (1n) male or females GAMETES that can fuse to form diploid ZYGOTES.
This basically explains what goes on in Meiosis.
A shell is considered as biotic (living) because it is a hard, rigid covering of many animals such as snail, sepia, pila, turtles, sea urchins. A shell is protective outer layer of these soft bodied animals.
