The pair “Chinook – China” is incorrect because the Chinook wind is found in the United States and Canada, not China. The other matches are correct: the Sirocco is a hot wind that travels from the Sahara to Italy, the Ghibli is the local desert wind of Libya and the Khamsin is the famous dusty wind that occurs in Egypt.

Geography students must learn that local winds are tied to specific locations. The Sirocco, Ghibli and Khamsin are all part of the same Saharan wind system that affects different countries around the Mediterranean Sea. They are all hot and dusty. However, the Chinook is a mountain-descending wind found in North America. China has its own local winds, such as the “Burane,” but the Chinook is strictly a phenomenon of the Rocky Mountains. Correctly matching these winds helps us understand how different continents have unique weather patterns caused by their specific mountain ranges and deserts.
