Over land in polar regions that is where it forms I don't know how they form though
Continental air masses. Tropical air masses form over water.
Continental tropical air masses typically form over large land areas in the subtropical regions where intense heating and dry conditions prevail. These air masses are characterized by high temperatures, low humidity, and stable atmospheric conditions due to the lack of moisture.
Types of air masses that are characterized by their temperature and humidity characteristics. Continental polar and maritime polar air masses are cold and moist, while continental tropical and maritime tropical air masses are warm and humid. These air masses determine the weather conditions when they interact with each other.
Maritime tropical (mT) air masses originate over warm ocean waters in tropical regions, bringing humid and warm conditions. Maritime polar (mP) air masses form over cold ocean waters in polar regions, resulting in cool and damp weather. Continental tropical (cT) air masses develop over hot, dry land areas, leading to warm and dry conditions. Continental polar (cP) air masses arise over cold land areas in polar regions, producing cold and dry air.
Both originate over land and are generally dry.

Four types of air masses that can affect the United States are continental polar (cP), maritime polar (mP), continental tropical (cT), and maritime tropical (mT). These air masses vary in temperature and moisture content, influencing the weather patterns when they move across the region.
the continental tropical and continental polar air masses both come from land, are humid and their differences are polar is cool air while tropical is warm air
the continental tropical and continental polar air masses both come from land, are humid and their differences are polar is cool air while tropical is warm air
the continental tropical and continental polar air masses both come from land, are humid and their differences are polar is cool air while tropical is warm air
continental tropical air mass.
maritime polar, maritime tropical, continental polar, and continental tropical
Maritime polar, maritime tropical, continental polar, & continental tropical
the continental tropical and continental polar air masses both come from land, are humid and their differences are polar is cool air while tropical is warm air
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.
