An air mass can be described as the air with similar properties of temperature and moisture which covers a large area. ...
Depressions, or lows play an important part in the weather of the British Isles, tending to bring rain and strong winds. Depressions follow a life cycle of about 2-5 days, in 3 stages.

Depressions develop from small waves in the polar front (called front genesis). ...
In contrast to depressions, anticyclones only involve one type of air mass, usually involve large areas and do not involve fronts. ...
