write a short on different local winds of the world.
Answers
Explanation:
The main types of local winds are: Sea breezes and land breezes, Anabatic and katabatic winds, and Foehn winds. Anabatic winds : This wind is caused by thermal (heat) processes. ... Katabatic Winds : Katabatic (downslope) winds occur over slopes which are cooled.
.
Sea and land breezes
Sea breezes and land breezes are two familiar categories of local winds that are driven by differences in temperature and in air pressure, which is the pressure exerted by air on a given area

A sea breeze blows from the water to the shore. It comes as a welcome relief to coastal inhabitants on a hot day. A land breeze, in contrast, blows from the shore toward the water. Land breezes occur in the evening.

Sea breezes form on hot days because the land warms more rapidly than does the water. As a result, a low-pressure area develops over warm ground and a high-pressure area over the cooler water. A mild wind blows across the pressure gradient, from the high-pressure area (over the water) to the low-pressure area (over the land). At night, the process is reversed as the land loses heat more quickly than does the water. The resultant land breeze flows from the high-pressure area, over the shore, out to the low-pressure area, over the water.
Sea breezes and land breezes are strongest at the shoreline, where temperature and pressure differences are most pronounced

They lose intensity as they travel inland or out to sea. The time of day when temperature and pressure differences are greatest, and therefore the breezes are strongest, is midafternoon, when land reaches its maximum

WORDS TO KNOW
adiabatic process:
a process by which the temperature of a moving air parcel changes, even though no heat is exchanged between the air parcel and the surrounding air.
air pressure:
the pressure exerted by the weight of air over a given area of Earth's surface. Also called atmospheric pressure or barometric pressure.
anabatic wind:
winds caused by warm air close to Earth's surface. The air is less dense than the surrounding air and travels upward along a slope.
anemometer:
an instrument that measures wind speed.
