Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An air mass that forms over northern Canada would likely be a continental polar air mass (cP) since it originates over land and in a polar region. This air mass would be cold and dry, and could bring frigid temperatures and clear skies when it moves southward. Option B) mP is a maritime polar air mass that forms over cold water, so it would not be likely to form over northern Canada. Option C) cT is a continental tropical air mass that forms over warm land, so it would also be unlikely to form over northern Canada. Option D) mA is not a designated air mass, so it is not a valid choice.
