Humidity is typically low in a continental polar air mass because this air mass originates from high latitudes where the air is cold and dry.
Higher latitudes receive less solar radiation because sunlight hits the Earth at a more oblique angle, spreading the same amount of energy over a larger surface area. This results in lower intensity of solar radiation reaching these regions compared to lower latitudes where sunlight strikes the Earth more directly.

On a map of average annual temperature why are the lower latitudes so much warmer than the higher latitudes?
No. Tropical climate zones are found in lower latitudes.

The high latitudes have cold climates that are more difficult to live in. most of the land mass of the earth is currently not at high latitudes, so there is more land elsewhere for countries to be formed in. consequently, there are only a few countries at high latitudes.
Not all landforms were formed by glaciers during the last glaciation but most of those in high latitudes were, including mountainous regions in lower latitudes.
