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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maritime climates do not have much fluctuation in temperature because its climate is tied to the water. Water is slow to change in temperature. It is warmer than air in the winter and colder than air in the summer. Continental climates only have the land mass and wind to influence its climate. It has a greater difference in temperature than maritime. Here's an example..... At 60 degrees north and 120 degrees east the difference in mean temperature between the coolest and warmest months is 50 degrees celsius. At 60 degrees north and 160 degrees west the difference in mean temperature between the coolest and warmest temperatures is only 25 degrees. Can you tell which is which?
