What is the name of the warm and dry wind that originates on the west coast of the United States, crosses the Rocky Mountains and descends on the other side?
This wind is the Chinook. It is a regional wind of the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains. It starts as a moist maritime air mass from the Pacific Ocean. After being forced over the mountain ranges and losing its moisture, it arrives on the eastern slopes as a warm, dry and fast-moving wind that significantly alters the local winter weather. ANSWER: (A) Chinook
