Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heat bursts are characterized by a sudden increase in temperature, often accompanied by strong winds. They are primarily caused by adiabatic warming, where air warms as it descends and compresses, and compressional warming, which is a similar process where air increases in temperature as pressure on it increases without heat exchange with the environment. These processes are responsible for the warm temperatures observed during a heat burst.
