Why does Poland have both a maritime and a continental climate?

A. Poland's location on the Atlantic Ocean

B. The collision of humid Atlantic air with dry air from Asia

C. The mountain ranges create a pocket of mixed elements - both maritime and continental

D. Poland's proximity to the Scandinavian peninsulas and the Baltic Sea

I believe that the answer for this question is option A. Poland has both both a maritime and a continental climate because of its location which is on the Atlantic Ocean. Maritime climate is a temperate temperature range which is experienced due to the effect of the ocean. On the other hand, continental climate is considered as a relatively dry climate. Hope this helps.

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Poland has both a maritime and a continental climate because of the collision of humid Atlantic air with dry air from Asia.

Explanation:

Poland's climate is a temperate transitional one. Here the dry air from the Eurasian continent meets the humid air of the Atlantic. In the north and west there is mainly a moderate sea climate, in the east and southeast continental climate. The dividing line is the axis between the upper Warthe and the lower Vistula.

From July to September the winds blow mostly from the west, in winter, especially in December and January, winds from the east dominate. In spring and autumn the wind directions change between west and east.
