Answers
Answer:
Q 1.
1.Planetary winds are one of the major winds.
2.Local winds are winds that blow over a limited area. Local winds blow between small low and high pressure systems. They are influenced by local geography. Nearness to an ocean, lake, or mountain range can affect local winds.
3.a breeze blowing towards the land from the sea, especially during the day owing to the relative warmth of the land.
4.a breeze blowing towards the sea from the land, especially at night, owing to the relative warmth of the sea.
Q2.
1.The flow of air reverses as the sun is going down and at night. This is because the mountain slopes at higher elevations cool quicker than the valleys. The cooler and denser air at higher elevations flows back down the slopes of the mountain and into the valley. This is called a mountain breeze.
2.In an anticyclone, winds move out from a high-pressure area with wind direction clockwise in the northern hemisphere, anti-clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Such a high pressure area is usually spread over a large area, created by descending warm air devoid of moisture.
Q3.
1.Sea Breeze.
2.Nautical mile per hour.
3.Circum-Polar Low-Pressure Belts.
4.Weeks
5.Typhoons.
