Name ONE of the air masses that can be found in North America (remember to use both the temperature and humidity descriptors).
I searched everywhere, even looked back at my lesson, and I still can't find out, if you can help me or send me a link, I will be very grateful

Thank you so much! But just to check, Tropical matches more with my statement, so would that be the answer?
Tropical is a good answer,
Certainly! One of the air masses commonly found in North America is the "continental polar" air mass. This air mass gets its name from its characteristics. The word "continental" refers to its origin over the continents rather than oceans, and "polar" indicates its source region in the polar regions.
The characteristics of a continental polar air mass include low temperatures and low humidity. It typically forms over the cold interior regions of Canada and Alaska and moves southward into the United States. This air mass brings cold and dry air, which often causes cooler temperatures and lower humidity levels in the areas it affects.
To find information about air masses, you can refer to meteorology textbooks, online resources such as weather websites or educational websites, or even search for specific terms like "air masses in North America" on search engines like Google. Reputable sources like the National Weather Service or educational institutions' websites often provide accurate and detailed explanations of various air masses.
