Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greatest contrast in temperature and moisture occurs along the boundary between maritime tropical (mT) and continental polar (cP) air masses. The mT air mass is warm and moist while the cP air mass is cold and dry. This contrast leads to the formation of frontal systems and can result in severe weather conditions. The other options (B, C, D) involve air masses that have smaller differences in temperature and moisture content, and therefore would not result in as great of a contrast at their boundaries.
