Best Answer

You have a huge canyon where the air pressures on each end change radically all the time. Every time you have a high pressure on one end and a low pressure on the other end, the high naturally races toward the low. The greater the difference in barometric pressure from the high at one end to the low at the other end determines the direction,speed, and strength of the wind that will blow up or down this huge natural funnel.

Who named Oregon?

Oregon City, Oregon was established by Hudson's Bay Company's Dr. John McLoughlin in 1829, before Oregon became a state and was a territory, near the confluence of the Clackamas River with the Willamette to take advantage of the power of Willamette Falls to run a lumber mill. So it is most likely it was Dr. John McLoughlin who named the city when it was established in 1829.
