Zorluk: OrtaPhysical Geography of the World

Match the local wind systems listed in List-I with their corresponding regional locations or geographical characteristics in List-II:

  • ChinookEastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains (North America)
  • FoehnNorthern slopes of the Alps (Switzerland)
  • MistralRhone Valley of France towards the Mediterranean coast
  • SiroccoSahara Desert blowing north towards the Mediterranean

Cevap

Chinook corresponds to the Eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains; Foehn corresponds to the Northern slopes of the Alps; Mistral corresponds to the Rhone Valley of France; and Sirocco corresponds to the Sahara Desert blowing towards the Mediterranean.
Chinook matches with the Rocky Mountains leeward slopes, Foehn matches with the Alpine leeward slopes, Mistral matches with the Rhone Valley cold wind pathway, and Sirocco matches with the Sahara-to-Mediterranean hot air flow.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the regional context for Chinook winds
Chinook is a warm dry wind on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains in western North America.
As air moves over the Rockies and descends the lee slope, it warms adiabatically.
2
Identify the regional context for Foehn winds
Foehn is a warm dry wind characteristic of the northern slopes of the Alps in Central Europe.
Moisture is lost on the windward side, causing dry adiabatic descent on the leeward Alpine valleys.
3
Identify the regional context for Mistral winds
Mistral is a cold, dry wind channelled through the Rhone Valley in southern France.
High atmospheric pressure over Europe pushes cold air south through narrow river valleys towards the warmer Mediterranean sea.
4
Identify the regional context for Sirocco winds
Sirocco originates in the Sahara Desert and travels northwards across the Mediterranean Sea.
Tropical air masses pick up moisture over the Mediterranean, bringing warm, humid, dust-bearing weather to southern Europe.
