Question

match each air mass type with the source region where the air mass is most likely to have formed.
warm and dry warm and humid
cool and dry cool and humid
source region air mass type
a low - latitude area that is mostly desert.
an area of antarctica that is covered in ice
a high - latitude but ice - free area of the pacific ocean
an area of the atlantic ocean near the equator

Explanation:

1. Low-latitude deserts receive intense sunlight, making air warm, and lack moisture sources, so air is dry.
2. Ice-covered Antarctica is a cold, frozen region with no open water to add humidity, so air is cool and dry.
3. High-latitude ice-free Pacific areas have cool temperatures from their latitude, and open ocean provides moisture, making air cool and humid.
4. Equatorial Atlantic areas are warm from direct sunlight, and the ocean supplies abundant moisture, creating warm and humid air.

Answer:

• a low-latitude area that is mostly desert: warm and dry
• an area of Antarctica that is covered in ice: cool and dry
• a high-latitude but ice-free area of the Pacific Ocean: cool and humid
• an area of the Atlantic Ocean near the equator: warm and humid
