Air masses that form over land, known as continental air masses, tend to be drier and can experience more extreme temperature variations due to the rapid heating and cooling of land surfaces. In contrast, air masses that form over water, called maritime air masses, are generally more humid and maintain more moderate temperatures because water has a higher heat capacity. This difference in moisture content and temperature stability can significantly influence local weather patterns when these air masses move and interact with one another.
Maritime Masses form over water.
Glaciers
Moist air masses often form over bodies of water such as oceans, seas, and lakes. The warm temperatures and high humidity levels over these water surfaces contribute to the development of moisture in the air mass.
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
Continental Masses form over Land.
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.

No. If something is maritime, then it has to do with the ocean. Maritime air masses form over water.

Water vapor.
An air mass that is formed over water is usually called a maritime air mass.
