Continental polar masses are cold and dry air masses because the cold air cannot hold much moisture. As they move into warmer air, they can trigger precipitation.
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
A continental polar air mass is associated with sunny days and cold nights. This type of air mass is both cold and dry. Other types of air masses are continental arctic and continental tropical.
they form over cold dry areas

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.

I believe there are only 5 different air masses in the US: 1. Arctic Polar 2. Continental Polar 3. Maritime Polar 4. Continental Tropical 5. Maritime Tropical Hope this helped!
The Continental Polar is composed of cold dry air.
It's Continental Polar.
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.
Maritime polar and tropical, continental polar and tropical.
dry continental air masses.
