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.
There are multiple different forest types on the planet, all of them with their own unique characteristics creating a certain forest ecosystem.
The tropical forests are evergreen, so are the boreal forests, but the temperate forests shade their leaves each autumn and grow them again in the spring. The tropical forests are fully active all year around, the boreal despite being green all the time are not active for big portion of the year, while the temperate forests are active from the end of the winter until mid autumn. The tropical forests create a lot of material for decomposition thus making the top part of the soil very fertile, the boreal forests do not create a lot of material for decomposition but instead very little which makes the soil relatively poor, and the temperate forests create a lot of material for decomposition especially in the autumn when they shed their leaves, thus contributing to very fertile top layer of the soil. The tropical forests have enormous biodiversity, the boreal forests are very monotonous and have very little biodiversity, while the temperate forests are kind of in between with medium level of biodiversity.
When the sun rises it gives us energy. we use rivers for drinking and we also use rivers for transportation.
