Polar areas have frozen water. They are too cold to receive rain. The North Pole sits on an ice cap over an ocean. The South Pole sits on a glacier. So there is lots of water with little precipitation.

What climate of the inland areas of antarctica are?

What is the polar easterlies?

What are polar easterlies and prevailing westerlies?
Polar easterlies are dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the east. They emanate from the polar highs, areas of high pressure around the North and South Poles. Polar easterlies flow to low-pressure areas in sub-polar regions. Westerlies are prevailing winds that blow from the west at midlatitudes.

What air mass is indicated by composed of cold dry air?
The Continental Polar is composed of cold dry air.
Where are the earth's polar areas?
The earth's polar areas are at ARCTIC to the north and ANTARCTIC to the south of the equator.
What are the air currents that flow near the north and south poles?
The polar easterlies (also Polar Hadley cells) are the dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the high-pressure areas of the polar highs at the north and south poles towards low-pressure areas within the Westerlies at high latitudes.
Where does a Maritime Polar form?
