Chapter 16.2, Problem 1A
Summary Introduction
The region where continental polar air mass collides with a maritime tropical air mass and the region where a font is originated.
Introduction:
The continental polar air mass is indicated as “cP”. These types of air masses have both cold and dry air. The maritime tropical air mass is represented as “mT”. The “mT” air masses are composed of warm and humid air.
