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.

um yeah that is true but u are not answering my question's of all four of them which are the two main
can u answer that????????????
Yeah......you need more info on these and you need to describe the main two air masses!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
When two different air masses collide they form a cloud.
Continental polar air masses would mostly affect Saskatchewan. There may also sometimes be maritime arctic and maritime polar air masses.
A boundary between two air masses of different temperatures and humidity is called a front. If a cold front meets a warm front head on, there is a possibility for a violent storm.
the four different types of air masses are continental polar,and tropical. maritime tropical, and polar. the 5 kinds ofair masses are: Cp: continental polar Ct: continental tropical Ca: continental artic Mp: maritime polar Mt: maritime tropical (Ma:maritime artic) maritime artic is much less common than the other air masses, because very cold air is less likely to be moist.
These air masses are different due to their temperatures. Air masses over water tend to be bigger because of faster evaporation and faster condensation. I hope I helped! I'm covering this subject in science.
There are three different types of air masses.
Two types of air masses are cold and warm air masses. When they meet each other, a front forms.
It separates hot air masses and cold air masses
There are two types of air masses: COLD AIR AND WARM AIR.Cold Air Masses-Cold air masses can cause thunderstorms and even tornadoes.Warm Air Masses-Warm air masses can bring many hours of steady rain and snow.

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.
When two different air masses collide they form a cloud.
Air masses are classified according to their maritime source regions and their latitude. Different air masses affect different parts of the world.
Continental polar air masses would mostly affect Saskatchewan. There may also sometimes be maritime arctic and maritime polar air masses.
tropical and polarlol =)ayyyyyyyyye
A "front".
