Continental winds are relatively dry, cold winds that blow from landmasses towards bodies of water. These winds can affect regional weather patterns, causing changes in temperature and precipitation levels as they move across different landscapes.
The continental US major wind belts generally push air masses from west to east.
The thickest deposits of terrigenous sediment typically form in areas close to continental margins, where there is a high input of sediment from rivers, glaciers, and wind. These areas can include continental shelves, slopes, and fans.
They are both part of the larger structure called the continental margin where a continental plate meets an oceanic plate. The lower (deeper) end of the continental slope is called the continental rise.
No, active continental margins typically do not have a continental rise. Instead, they often have a steep continental slope that descends into a deep oceanic trench due to tectonic activity. Continental rises are found at passive continental margins where there is minimal tectonic activity.

Any wind system on a continental scale that seasonally reverses its direction is a monsoon system. It affects large climatic regions.
As of 2011, No. Ohio is notable as it is the only state in the continental U.S. having adequate on-shore wind power sites that does NOT have a significant wind farm.
The Harmattan is a hot, dry and dusty wind (continental trade wind) blowing over West Africa. I know not why it might be delayed.

Four main types of air masses influence weather in North America: maritime tropical, continental tropical, maritime polar and continental polar.
The three factors which control surface currents are the following:Global windsContinental deflection and temperatureThe Coriolis effect
The Coriolis effect is a result of the Earth's rotation and influences the direction of global winds by causing them to bend to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Global wind patterns are also affected by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which creates pressure differences that drive wind circulation. Continental deflections can further influence wind direction and strength by altering the flow of air masses over landmasses.

The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise combine to form the continental margin.
