Poland has a moderate climate with both maritime and continental elements. This is due to humid Atlantic air which collides over its territory with dry air from the Eurasian interior. As a result, the weather tends to be capricious and the seasons may look quite different in consecutive years. This is particularly true for winters, which are either wet, of the oceanic type, or - less often - sunny, of the continental type. Generally, in north and west Poland the climate is predominantly maritime, with gentle, humid winters and cool, rainy summers, while the eastern part of the country has distinctly continental climate with harsh winters and hotter, drier summers. Generally, Poland receives all kinds of air masses typical of the northern hemisphere. This results in a variable climate and considerable problems with weather forecasting. Poland's climate is also characterized by substantial weather changes in consecutive years, caused by disturbances in the pattern of main air masses coming to the country. Summer may be hot and dry a few times in a row and then it becomes cool and wet. This phenomenon tends to happen in several-year cycles. Poland's climate is also strongly influenced by the lowland topography of this part of Europe, stretching from France to Ukraine. Not stopped by any natural barriers, air masses move quickly from the Atlantic or North Sea. Another factor is the country's location, far from vast water bodies (the Atlantic Ocean) and close to extensive land areas (Eurasia). The Baltic Sea is a major contributor to the climate of north Poland while the southern part of the country is also affected by the Black Sea.
Whats causes Continentality is that those inland areas on continents cannot receive Maritime climate influences of water. This due to the length in distance from open bodies of water and mountain ranges. Being closer to water stabilizes the temperatures, not being near it can create harsh extremes.
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.
Europe gets warmer towards the southIt gets drier towards the eastThe prevailing wind blows in from the Atlantic Ocean. (But other winds blow in too-for example from the North Pole and from Africa)The change from hot summer to cold winter is greatest in Eastern Europe.I hope i was helpful xx
They are both part of the larger structure called the continental margin where a continental plate meets an oceanic plate. The lower (deeper) end of the continental slope is called the continental rise.
Similarities between Atlantic maritime and southeastern climate regions include mild winters and warm summers with high humidity. Differences include the Atlantic maritime region having cooler summers and milder winters due to the influence of the ocean, while the southeastern region experiences hotter summers and slightly cooler winters with more variability in temperatures.
Western Europe has areas of both Mediterranean and Maritime Climate.
The US and Canada both have Humid continental, semiarid, highland and marine climate zones.
Central Europe has both an oceanic and continental climate, depending on the area.
they both are over colder land but maritime polar is over water in cold areas and continental polar is over land and in colder areas.
They both have a wet or damp climate...
The US and Canada both have Humid continental, semiarid, highland and marine climate zones.
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.
They were both powerhouses in terms of maritime trading.

Both have season that's longer and shorter on time
