3 - 1

4 - 2

5 - 1

Explanation:

• In case of continental tropical region, due to its location at the tropics, the air that blows here are usually hot and relatively dry.
• In case of maritime tropical region, the air blows are warm enough and contains some water in it.
• In continental polar and continental arctic, due to its location at the poles, the air here is dry and cold because of its low temperature.
• In case of maritime polar, the air here is moist enough and sufficiently cool
