Trade winds are global wind belts, not local winds. Chinook, Loo, and Sirocco are local or regional winds. Trade winds are part of the Earth's global circulation and blow from the subtropics towards the equator.
Explanation:
Albedo is the measure of the reflectivity of a surface. A high albedo means the surface reflects most of the incoming solar radiation (e.g., ice, snow), while a low albedo means it absorbs most (e.g., forests, oceans).
Explanation:
Meteorology is the scientific study of the atmosphere, weather, and climate. Climatology is a branch of meteorology dealing with long-term weather patterns.
Explanation:
Tropical deserts form due to a combination of factors, including subtropical high pressure (descending dry air), cold ocean currents (which stabilize the atmosphere), and rain shadow effects from nearby mountains.
