Answer:
Foehn of Europe is known as Chinook in North America.
Explanation:
Foehn is an example of the local wind system. Local winds are those winds whose formation and impact is restricted in comparatively smaller geographical areas. Foehn winds are the local winds flowing in the Alps mountains of Europe. These winds are warm and dry winds which flows in the downward side of the Alps mountains.
It is very important for agricultural purposes in these areas, it was also first discovered in these areas so was given a German name. In North America, when the same kind of air, that is warm and dry air flows from the downward side of the Rockies the air is known as Chinook. The nature and function of both these air are similar but because it is present in different geographical areas it is named differently. Foehn in parts of Europe and Chinook in North American Rockies.
