Document Summary
An extremely large body of air whose temperature and humidity are uniform both horizontally and vertically. The areas of the globe where air masses form. Large bodies of air must remain for substat ntial time to become air mass. Coastal have more uniform cycle than continental location. Due to elr - location at higher altitudes will be cooler than locations closer to sea level. Daily and annual cycles pay an important role. Proximity to the persistent low and high pressure centres. Low: tend to receive substantial convective precipitation precipitation. Origin of air masses is an important factor. Air coming from source which are continental or cold tend to hold less moisture. Annual cycle of temperature of a place due to its latitude and location. The effect of a marine or continental location will moderate or amplify it. Continental: their cycle is impacted by their inland location. Shows the climate of a given location or region using two or more variables.
