Air Masses Concept Map Explained
An air mass is a large body of air with fairly uniform temperature and humidity. Air masses take on these properties over a source region, such as a polar ocean or a dry continental interior. A concept map of air masses groups them by temperature and moisture, then links each type to the weather fronts it produces when it meets another air mass.
- Source regions: where the air mass acquires its temperature and moisture
- Air mass types: maritime or continental, polar or tropical, arctic and equatorial
- Moisture and temperature: how these properties change as air moves
- Fronts: cold, warm, stationary and occluded boundaries between air masses
Use the map to revise how source regions explain weather patterns. Build a personalized air masses map from your own notes with CogniGuide.

Air Masses Questions Answered
Common questions about air masses and making your own map.
What is an air mass?
An air mass is a large volume of air with similar temperature and humidity throughout. It takes these properties from the surface of the region where it forms, called its source region.
What are the main types of air masses?
Air masses are classified by temperature as polar or tropical and by moisture as maritime or continental. Combinations include maritime polar, continental polar, maritime tropical and continental tropical.
Which file types can I use to build an air masses map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images. You can also type the topic directly.
Can I turn my air masses map into a quiz?
Yes. Once the map is created, you can turn it into a quiz to test yourself. Free plan limits apply.
