Matching

Match each description with the term that correctly describes it.

Premises:
Nighttime circulatory system along coasts where winds from a zone of high pressure over land flow to a zone of relatively low pressure over water.
Daytime circulatory system along coasts where winds flow from a zone of high pressure over water to a zone of relatively low pressure over land.
Upslope airflow that develops when mountain slopes heat up due to re-radiation and conduction over the course of the day.
Downslope airflow that develops when mountain slopes cool off at night and relatively low pressure exists in valleys.
Downslope airflow that evolves when pools of cold air develop over ice caps and subsequently descend into valleys.
Responses:
land breeze
katabatic winds
sea breeze
mountain breeze
