1. During night times the valleys have low pressure compared to the mountains areas.
2. Katabatic wind is also called as down valley or mountain breeze.
3. Mountain Breezes cause inversion of temperature in the valleys.

Which of the following is/are true about Valley and Mountain Breezes

• A. Only 1
• B. Only 2
• C. Only 1 and 3
• D. 1, 2 and 3

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1, 2 and 3

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> During Night-time the mountainous areas will lose the heat quickly and becomes cooler compared to Valleys this the valleys have comparatively low pressure. The breeze which blows from mountains to the valley during night-time are called Katabatic winds. During Night time the colder air which blows from mountain region displaces the comparatively hotter air at the bottom of the valley causing temperature inversion in the valleys.
