Katabatic Winds Develop Because

Multiple Choice

A) in coastal regions, hot air rises over the land and flows aloft, allowing cool coastal winds to blow landward.
B) in the winter, lakes provide moisture and heat to the atmosphere, generating winds that flow landward.
C) the air above an ice sheet becomes cold and dense and flows downslope off of the ice sheet, producing winds.
