Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Katabatic winds are regional-scale, gravity-driven winds that bring high density air downslope. They are not the same as mountain-valley breezes, which are localized winds associated with temperature differences in a smaller area. They are also not associated with sea-breezes or pressure differences.
