  "id": "MLC-T-MET-005908",
  "term": "Geographic effect on winds",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The influence of Earth's surface features, such as mountains, coastlines, and land-sea boundaries, on the direction and speed of atmospheric winds. Topography can channel, block, or enhance wind flow, leading to localized wind patterns like mountain-valley breezes or sea breezes. These effects are particularly pronounced in complex terrain and near large bodies of water.",
