1)Tropical: form over the tropics, so they are warm and will have low air pressure.

2)Polar: form north/south of 50º latitude. So they are cold and will have high pressure.

3)Maritime: form over the oceans so they are humid.

4)Continental: form over the middle of continents (land) so they are dry.
