What are Air Masses:  They large volumes of air that have generally the same temperature and pressure.

How they work: One is heated by an electrical current, the other is not. As air flows across the heated wire, it cools down.

Example of an Air Mass: The air masses in and around North America include the continental arctic, maritime polar, maritime tropical, continental tropical, and continental polar air masses. Air is not the same everywhere.

Fact: Unstable air masses have different temperatures and pressures.

How they are formed: An air mass forms whenever the atmosphere remains in contact with a large, relatively uniform land or sea surface for a time sufficiently long to acquire the temperature and moisture properties of that surface.

*** <em>The Earth's major air masses originate in polar or subtropical latitudes.</em>

Las plantas tienen una pequeña abertura llamada estoma por la cual la planta toma aire dentro de su cuerpo y libera agua para regular su temperatura mientras que por otro lado, los animales liberan agua de su cuerpo a través de la respiración en forma de vapores y de la micción en forma de líquido.
