What is a group of mountain slopes in one area called?
A group of mountain slopes in one area is called a mountain range.
What is a the sides of a mountain called?
The sides of a mountain are called slopes. These slopes can vary in steepness and play a role in determining the overall shape and characteristics of the mountain.
Are sea and land breezes similar to mountain and valley breezes?
Mountain and valley breezes are other examples of local winds caused by an area's geography. Campers in mountains areas may feel warm afternoon quickly change into cold night soon after the sun sets. During the day, the sun warms the air along the mountain slopes. This warm air rises up the mountain slopes, creating a valley breeze. At nightfall, the air along the mountain slopes cools. This is cool air moves down the slopes into the valley, producing a mountain breeze.

The sun
How do mountain breezes formed?
Mountain breezes form due to temperature differences between the mountain slopes and the valleys. During the night, the air on the mountain slopes cools more quickly than the air in the valleys, causing the denser, cooler air to flow down into the valleys. This downward movement of cool air creates a breeze that can be felt in the lower elevations. As the sun rises, the process can reverse, leading to valley breezes during the day.
Why do people farm on mountain slopes?
Most don't, but it's mainly because they have no choice, either because the growing conditions in the valleys are not suitable, or they don't know that they shouldn't be farming on mountain slopes to begin with.
What breeze blows in a mountain-valley system?
During the day, warm air rises up the mountain slopes, creating anabatic winds blowing up the valley. At night, cold air descends down the slopes, creating katabatic winds blowing down the valley. This diurnal pattern of wind movement is typical in mountain-valley systems.
What do you call the lower slopes of a mountain?
The lower slopes of a mountain are typically referred to as the foothills. These are the more gradual, less steep areas at the base of the mountain before reaching the steeper and more rugged terrain higher up.
What causes mountain breeze to form?
After sunset the sun is no longer warming the mountain side and there is cooling of the air along the slope. The air becomes more dense and sinks into to valley. Thus the wind blows from the mountain side down into the valley and is thus called a mountain breeze.
What are curvaceous slopes?
Curvaceous means having an attractively curvy figure. So this could be for a mountain, for a body, for hills or for slopes.
