Consider the following statements about the local winds found across the World.
1. Fohn is a cold and dry wind flowing in tundra regions which decreases the temperature of these areas to below freezing point.
2. Chinook is a warm dry wind which blow along the eastern slope of the Rocky mountains and is also known as snow eater.
3. Loo is a warm and dry wind which blows across northwestern and northern part of India during Monsoon season.
Which of the above statements are correct?

Which of the above statements are correct?
The correct option is B Only 2
Loo is a local seasonal wind that blows in summers in the Northern India.
Chinook blows down the slope from the Rocky mountain in the U.S.A. The winds descending
from the mountains get heated up adiabatically and reduce the severity of the winters in
the foot hill region.
A föhn or foehn is a type of dry, warm, down-slope wind that occurs in the lee (downwind side) of a mountain range. Föhn can be initiated when deep low pressures move into Europe drawing moist Mediterranean air over the Alps. It is a rain shadow wind that results from the subsequent adiabatic warming of air that has dropped most of its moisture on windward slopes
