Continental Polar cP air mass is an air mass formed over land in a cold region with cold dry air
Maritime tropical mT air mass is an air mass that forms over water in a warm region with warm wet air
the continental air is found in high temperature regions. the maritime air is found in low temperature regions.
Maritime Polar is cool, humid air. Maritime tropical is harm, humid air. continental,tropical is dry,hot air. Continental polar is cool,humid air.
It's drier ... and therefore its temperature changes faster.

dry continental air masses.
Continental polar masses are cold and dry air masses because the cold air cannot hold much moisture. As they move into warmer air, they can trigger precipitation.
Continental Tropical air masses (cT) A continental tropical air mass forms in the interior of subtropical continents at about 15o to 35o north and south latitude. They are hot and dry air masses due to the temperature and moisture characteristics at their source region.

The five types of air masses are polar, tropical, maritime, continental, and arctic. Polar air masses are cold and dry, tropical air masses are warm and dry, maritime air masses are warm and moist, continental air masses are dry and cold, and arctic air masses are extremely cold and dry.
the continental tropical and continental polar air masses both come from land, are humid and their differences are polar is cool air while tropical is warm air
the continental tropical and continental polar air masses both come from land, are humid and their differences are polar is cool air while tropical is warm air
The 4 major air masses are continental polar (cP), continental tropical (cT), marine polar (mP) and marine tropical (mT). Generally, continental air masses are drier than marine air masses, and polar air masses are cooler than tropical air masses. cT air masses are relatively limited in distribution existing in the south west North America and North Africa.
