Question

Formation of katabatic winds and how they will result in development of frost pockets in the valley floor

Answer 1

Answer:

Cooled air is denser and heavy, thus start to sink down from the mountain to the valley. A mountain breeze can also be called a katabatic wind or gravity wind. ... When cold air accumulates on the valley floor temperatures can plummet resulting in the formation of a frost pocket

Answer 2

When the high density winds which is originated from the hills, glaciers, or mountains are radiationally cooled, katabatic winds are formed.

Explanation:

• It is also known as catabatic or fall winds.
• Gravity plays a major part in the formation of this kind of wind as it drags the wind to the sea.
• The average speed of the katabatic wind is about 18 km per hour.
• Not all the winds that flow downwards are all katabatic winds.
• The regions were katabatic winds are common is in Greenland and Antarctica.
• Due to the katabatic winds, the cold freezing wind that flows through the slopes and valleys form frost hollows resulting in Frost pockets.
