In meteorology, an air mass is a volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content. Air masses cover many hundreds or thousands of miles, and adapt to the characteristics of the surface below them. Which statement INCORRECTLY describes air masses? (1 point) Tropical air masses form closer to the equator where the air is warm. Maritime air masses form over water and dry out as they lose water vapor to the water below it. Continental air masses form over land and are dry as they travel across the land below. Polar air masses form far from the equator where the air is cold.
