The mountains and valleys in Switzerland produce wind patterns. These patterns can vary drastically within a few miles because of the mountains because of their heights. It is basically the same with any high mountains anywhere, except Switzerland is enclosed.

What are winds along the equator called?

The trade winds coming from the north and the south meet near the equator. They produce upward winds and are heated.


The storms that produce the highest winds are?

Tropical cyclones, including hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones, are known to produce the highest winds on Earth. These storms can reach wind speeds exceeding 150 mph (240 km/h) and can cause significant damage due to their strong winds and heavy rainfall.


How do landforms and land masses affect precipitation?

Rain clouds are often forced to rise as winds blow them towards landforms like mountains. Clouds rising are unable to hold their water, so it falls as precipitation on the windward side of mountains.


Which winds are not planetary winds?

Local winds, such as sea breezes and mountain winds, are not planetary winds. These winds are driven by local temperature and pressure differences rather than the global atmospheric circulation patterns that produce the planetary winds.


What storm has strong winds but isn't a tornado and not a hurricane?

Severe thunderstorms would probably be the answer. They can produce strong winds in more than one way. First, they can produce winds via a downburst which is a strong downdraft that occurs during a thunderstorm, and the causes strong, straight-line winds that can sometimes exceed 130 mph. In some cases downbursts can occur along a line of severe storms, resulting in a phenomenon called a derecho. Another way thunderstorms can produce strong winds is through a rear-flank downdraft or RFD, a descending mass of dry air associated with the mesocyclone, or rotating updraft, of a supercell. The RFD can produce winds in excess of 100 mph. It is also believed to play an essential role in tornado formation.

What is the prevailing wind direction in Omaha?

Normally from the west. In summer warm moist winds come from the south to meet colder north winds to produce thunderstorms. In winter cold northerly winds can produce snowstorms and blizzards.

Are cyclones faster than tornadoes?

It depends on the cyclone, and the tornado. In some cases cyclone winds and tornado winds fall into the same range. However, tornado winds are generally stronger. By definition, a tornado must produce winds strong enough to cause damage; the same is not true of a cyclone. The very strongest tornadoes produce winds in excess of 300 mph, the fastest winds on earth.
