Which wind pattern emerges near mountainous coasts due to uneven heating?

A)Katabatic winds intensification
B)Monsoon trough subsidence
C)Orographic frontogenesis decay
D)Foehn gap wind acceleration

💡 Explanation

Katabatic winds intensify because differential cooling produces denser air; this air accelerates downwards, where the Coriolis effect deflects them, hugging the terrain, therefore leading to intensified coastal winds rather than reversed monsoon flows.
