Answer 1

When a mass of extremely cold, dry air moves over the ocean, it most likely becomes a **maritime polar** air mass. Maritime polar air masses typically develop over cold ocean waters and are characterized by cool and moist conditions. In this scenario, the cold air would typically pick up moisture from the ocean, resulting in a maritime polar air mass.
