Moses Sims · Answer 1

A.) An air mass cannot transfer energy from one area to another

Explanation:

The air masses are constantly on the move. They can be warm and moist, or cold and dry, as well as hot and dry, all depending on the place above which they have formed. The air masses that form over warm, large bodies of water and warm and moist. The air masses that form over cold regions are cold and dry, and the air masses that form deeper into the continent in hot regions, are hot and dry. Because the air masses are constantly on the move, they manage to transfer their energy from one area to another, resulting in change of weather conditions as the energy is transferred.
