Moist air masses usually form over warm tropical oceans.
continental polar air mass
yes
Air masses of different pressures and temperature move around the Earth. The cold air masses that form at the poles move toward the equator, while the warm air masses that form at the equator move toward the poles.
Scientists classify air masses according to their general characteristics and latitude. Artic air masses form at around 60 degrees latitude, Polar masses are at around 40 degrees latitude, warm tropical air masses are at 15 degrees latitude and very hot air masses form near the equator.

The equator! Its warmer there because the sun heats there more directly than anywhere else. Moistness will be above the ocean. So warm and moist air masses come from the equator over the ocean. I know this and I'm only 12!
