Answer:

the air mass will become colder

Step-by-step explanation:

A maritime tropical air mass is moist and warm, while a continental polar air mass is dry and cold. ... When an air mass moves to a new region, it carries along its characteristic moisture and temperature. As the air moves over Earth's surface, the characteristics of the surface begin to change the air mass.
