Question

Distinguish between permanent wind and local wind.

Answer 1

Permanent winds last over a place on earth throughout the year. Ex- Westerlies, Trades, etc.
On the other hand, local winds last over a very small area for a short period of time. Ex- loo, mistral, etc.

Answer 2

Differences between permanent winds and local winds:

• The winds are said to be permanent when they blow throughout the year in the same direction, for example, the trade winds.
• Permanent winds are also called as planetary winds.
• The winds are said to be local winds when they blow for a short span of time in a particular due to external changes in the environment, for example, sea breeze.  

Answer 3

Permanent Winds

Permanent winds blow from one latitude to the next throughout the year as a result of latitudinal changes in air pressure.

Trade winds, Westerlies, and Polar Easterlies are only a few examples.

Local Winds

Periodic winds are defined as winds that change direction on a regular basis depending on the season. They blow in regular cycles or at regular intervals.

Land and sea breezes, as well as seasonal winds, are examples.
