How many kinds of winds are there in the world? What kind are they?

1. Gust: When the airflow speed is high and low, the wind will become high and low, and it will have a burst of feeling when blowing on people.

2. Cyclone: The air carries dust and flies in the air to form a vortex.

3. Burning wind: When the air crosses the ridge, warm (or hot) dry wind is easy to appear on the leeward slope due to the sinking of the air.

4. Typhoon: an atmospheric vortex that occurs in the tropical ocean. When the maximum wind force in the vortex center reaches more than 8, it is called typhoon; The maximum wind force in the center is 6-7, which is called weak typhoon; When the maximum wind force in the center reaches 8 to 12, it is called a strong typhoon.

5. Tornado: A small destructive air vortex extending from the cumulonimbus cloud to the ground. What happens on land is called tornado, and what happens on the ocean is called tornado, also called waterspout.

5. Mountain and valley wind: In mountainous areas, the wind blows up along the slopes and valleys during the day and down along the slopes and valleys at night. This wind, which changes direction between hills and valleys alternately day and night, is called valley wind.

6. Sea-land wind: In coastal areas, the wind blows from the sea to the mainland during the day and from the land to the sea at night. This kind of wind that changes direction regularly day and night is called land-sea wind.

7. Glacier wind: shallow wind blowing down the mountain along the glacier during the day and night.

8. Monsoon: With the alternation of seasons, the prevailing wind direction changes regularly.

9. Trade winds: persistent winds blowing from subtropical high to equatorial regions in the lower atmosphere. In the northern hemisphere, trade winds prevail in the northeast; In the southern hemisphere, it is in the southeast.

10. Anti-trade wind: The hot air rising from the equator flows into the upper atmosphere in two stages.
