Answer:

C. A mass of air that is similar in temperature and humidity

Explanation:

An "air mass" refers to a big volume of air that is characterized by having similar or uniform "temperature" and "humidity"<em> (moisture).</em> They come from different source regions, thus they are classified accordingly.

The<em> "cold air masses"</em> come from the <u>polar area</u>s while the<em> "warm air masses"</em> come from the<u> tropical areas.</u> An air mass may cause a storm, for example, when an air mass moves to a new region and confronts another air mass there with a<em> different humidity and temperature</em>.

Mountains act as major climatic barriers with the sheltered or __________ side receiving less moisture than the exposed side. co
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Leeward

Explanation:

Mountains can act as a climatic barrier by blocking prevailing winds and trade winds from getting to the other side of the mountain.

The area that faces the winds is called the windward side. This side receives most of the moisture picked up by the winds from the oceans. This is why it is wetter on this side.

The LEEWARD side is a lot drier because the mountain blocks most of it and as the winds climb up the mountain, most of the moisture is well spent and fall on the windward side. By the time the wind gets to the other side of the mountain, they are dried up already. The <u>leeward</u> side is the area that faces away from the wind.
