Question

How can we say Chinook is a relief feature of the prairies

Answer 1

Chinook is the name of a local wind system. In the cold winter months, a strong, dry and warm wind system flows from the Rocky mountains across the land which brings quick temperature changes.

Explanation:

• These winds are warm winds and can be as warm as 10°C warmer than the surroundings.
• Prairie is one of the largest grasslands in the world, situated in North America especially in USA and Canada.
• This grasslands are famously called as the, " wheat bowl of the world" and is famous for wheat cultivation.
• The slight rise in temperature relieves the people from extreme cold weather.
• The increased temperature is also useful for the wheat crop.
• The increased temperature melts snow and the water from the melted snow is very helpful for agricultural production of wheat.
