Is valley breeze anabatic or katabatic wind?
Valley breeze is a type of wind in the mountains. Katabatic wind is down hill wind.
How do anabatic winds work?
The anabatic wind was discovered by German scientist Ball Sack. The word "anabatic" is derrived from the Greek word "pisshead". It refers to the upward motion of wind.
How might a valley produce a microclimate?
Anabatic and katabatic winds, a temperature inversion, a meteorological phenomena such as a fohn wind. rain shadow effect, shelter from wind, blocking out sunlight therefore reducing temperature, pedology which can create different heat capacities which make a small scale microclimate.
How do prevailing winds affect people?
The mistral is a katabatic wind (caused by the difference in pressure between the cold air of a high pressure system over northwest Europe and a low pressure system in the Mediterranean). The wind blows south through the Rhone Valley, gathering speed as it is funneled between the Alps and the Massif Central. The mistral is usually fresh and dry (accompanied by clear and sunny weather) and may be violent, blowing most frequent in winter and spring.

What is an anabatic wind?
An anabatic wind is an upslope wind - when the wind is blowing up a hill or mountain as a result of local surface heating.

What is katabatic wind?
Katabatic wind is generated by gravity and blows down to the sea-level coast from the polar plateau, and is constant. The plateau sits on an ice sheet that is nearly two miles thick.
What is difference between wind rose and wind vane?
the difference is nothing they are no difference
Difference between wind power and wind energy?
There really is no difference.
What is the difference between gradient wind and geostrophic wind?
Yes
What is the difference between solar energy and wind energy?
The difference between solar energy and wind energy is that solar energy comes from the sun and is in the form of waves. However they are both renewable energy resources.
What is the difference between a breeze and gust of wind?
that a gust is strong and a breeze is a light wind.
What is the difference between erosion and wind erosion?
what is the difference between gravitational erosion and wind erotion? what are the similarities betwen the two? give examples of what happens during these occurrences
