Detailed explanation-1: -A monsoon is a seasonal change in the direction of the prevailing, or strongest, winds of a region. Monsoons cause wet and dry seasons throughout much of the tropics. Monsoons are most often associated with the Indian Ocean. Monsoons always blow from cold to warm regions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: Monsoon winds are moisture-laden winds originating from a sea and moving towards the Indian peninsula. India experiences most of its rain from the southwest monsoon winds.
Detailed explanation-3: -The word monsoon derives from the Arabic word ‘mausim’ meaning season. The monsoon winds blow from different directions in different seasons. During summer, the winds blow from the south-west direction, while during winter they blow from the north-east direction.
