a mountain breeze flows down a mountain and into a valley.
This process is called upslope flow, where warm air rises up a mountain slope due to heating from the Sun. As the warm air ascends, it cools, condenses, and forms clouds, potentially leading to precipitation on the windward side of the mountain.
FALSE Got it right on my test.
The four types of breezes are land breeze (blows from land to water at night), sea breeze (blows from sea to land during the day), mountain breeze (cold air descending from mountains at night), and valley breeze (warm air rising in valleys during the day).
A sea breeze is usually a mild wind that blows over open waters. There are offshore?æwind breezes which are identical to a sea breeze, but have higher wind speeds.
The wind pattern that involves valley, sea, and mountain breezes is known as local or diurnal winds. During the day, the sun heats the land faster than the water, creating a sea breeze that flows inland. Conversely, at night, the land cools more quickly than the water, resulting in a valley breeze that flows down from the mountains into the valleys. These breezes are driven by temperature differences in the surrounding topography.

Evan and his mum were happy to sit on the rock, to catch their breath and cool off in the mountain breeze during their hike.

No, a zephyr is a breeze from the west.
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.
A breeze that blows down a mountain slope due to the gravitational flow of cooled air. Also known as mountain wind.
because you would get more of a breeze
There are numerous local winds, but some common examples include sea breezes, land breezes, valley breezes, and mountain/valley winds. These winds are driven by temperature differences between land and water, or between different types of terrain, and occur on a local scale.
The wind that blows from a valley to a mountain during the day is called a valley breeze.
