Q. With reference to wind systems, consider the following statements:- Katabatic wind refers to a downward flow of cold, dense air due to gravity.
- Katabatic winds are commonly observed in Antarctica and Greenland.
- Anabatic wind is a term for the downslope movement of air caused by cooling of mountain slopes.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Answer:
Only 1 and 2
Notes: Statements 1 and 2 are correct: Katabatic winds are cool, dense air masses flowing downslope under gravity, commonly observed in Antarctica and Greenland. Statement 3 is incorrect: Anabatic wind refers to upslope movement of warm air due to heating of slopes during the day, not downslope movement caused by cooling.
