How are continental tropical and continetak polar alike?
Continental polar and continental tropical are alike in that they are dry air masses. The different between the two is that the continental polar is a cool air mass while the tropical is a very hot mass of air.
How are maritime polar and continental polar different?
Continental polar and continental tropical are alike in that they are dry air masses. The different between the two is that the continental polar is a cool air mass while the tropical is a very hot mass of air.
What are the 4 types of Air Mass?

What are the two air masses contributing to a tornado Are they Continental Polar and Maritime Tropical?
The typical aanswer to that is indeed continental polar and maritime tropical, but it is not necessarily the case. A continental tropical air mass may take the place of the continental polar air mass. In some cases, no collision of air masses is needed.
