Write about the wind and its types
Answers
Answer:
Land breeze: These winds blow from land to sea, carrying no moisture but dry and warm. Sea breeze: These winds blow from sea to land, carrying some moisture. Mountain and valley breeze: Valley breeze is the hot air blowing from the valley which flows up to the slopes of mountain slopes.
Answer:
Wind blowing above the earth surface may be classified into five major types:
Planetary winds
Trade winds
The westerlies
Periodic winds
Monsoon winds
Land breeze
Sea breeze
Mountain and valley breeze
Local winds
Planetary Winds
Planetary winds comprise winds distributed throughout the lower atmosphere. The winds regularly blow throughout the year confined within latitudinal belts, mainly in north-east and south-east directions or from high-pressure polar-regions to low-pressure regions.
Trade Winds
These winds are also known as tropical easterlies and blow from the right in Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere due to Coriolis effect and Ferrel’s law.
The Westerlies
These winds are also known as Shrieking Sixties, Furious Fifties, and Roaring Forties.
Periodic Winds
These winds change their direction periodically as there is a change in the seasons. Following are the types of periodic winds:
Monsoon winds: The temperature difference created by the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and Himalayan wall forms the basis of monsoon in the Indian subcontinent.
Land breeze: These winds blow from land to sea, carrying no moisture but dry and warm.
Sea breeze: These winds blow from sea to land, carrying some moisture.
Mountain and valley breeze: Valley breeze is the hot air blowing from the valley which flows up to the slopes of mountain slopes.
Local winds
The local winds include the sea and the land breeze created due to the pressure difference between the air over the sea and the land regions.
