As an AI language model, I cannot display images, however, air masses coming from the Gulf of Mexico are typically warm and moist, and may contain unstable conditions that can lead to thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. These air masses are known as maritime tropical air masses.

I'm sorry but as an AI language model, I don't have the capability to display an image. However, air masses that start over the Gulf of Mexico are typically warm and moist, and are known as Maritime Tropical air masses. They can bring humid and sometimes unstable weather conditions to Georgia, including thunderstorms and heavy rainfall.
As residents of Georgia, our weather is often influenced by air masses that start over the Gulf of Mexico. What type of air masses should we expect from the Gulf of Mexico?
a
cool and humid air
b
warm and dry air
c
hot and dry air
d
warm and humid air
As an AI language model, I can tell you that we should expect warm and humid air masses from the Gulf of Mexico, as they are Maritime Tropical air masses. So, the correct option is (d) Warm and humid air.
Where is a thunderstorm most likely to form?
a
in the center of a large mass of cold, dry air
b
where two masses of warm, humid air collide with each other
c
where a warm, humid air mass collides with a dry, cold air mass
d
in the center of a large mass of warm, humid air
Thunderstorms are most likely to form where a warm, humid air mass collides with a cold, dry air mass. Therefore, option (c) where a warm, humid air mass collides with a dry, cold air mass is the correct answer.
Which statement BEST describes the differences between weather and climate?
a
They both occur over short periods of time.
b
They both occur over long periods of time.
c
Weather is long term while climate is short term.
d
Weather is short term while climate is long term.
The best statement that describes the differences between weather and climate is: d) Weather is short term while climate is long term.
Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions that occur over a short period of time, typically hours to days, while climate refers to the average weather conditions that occur in a region over a long period of time, typically decades to centuries.
What occurs in the eye region of a hurricane?
a
strong winds
b
torrential rains
c
hail storms
d
calm air
