Q. With reference to Anabatic wind(Valley breeze), which of the following statements is/are correct?
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
The correct option is D 1 and 3 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct, statement 2 is incorrect: Anabatic wind is an upslope wind-driven by warmer surface temperatures on a mountain slope than the surrounding air column during daytime. It is also called Valley breeze. The mountain's slopes heat up rapidly during the day due to the high insolation. warm air is elevated and low-pressure forms along the mountain slopes due to increased heating. high-pressure forms in the valleys. As a result, the air flows from the Valleys towards the slopes, and this upslope movement of air is known as Anabatic wind.
Statement 3 is correct: Anabatic wind is sometimes accompanied by the formation of cumulus clouds over the slopes of mountains and causes thunderstorms in the mountain regions, on warm and humid days.
