INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -Winter monsoons are less powerful than summer monsoons in Southeast Asia, in part because the Himalaya Mountains prevent much of the wind and moisture of the monsoons from reaching the coast.

Detailed explanation-2: -Summer monsoons have a dominant westerly component and a strong tendency to converge, rise, and produce rain. Winter monsoons have a dominant easterly component and a strong tendency to diverge, subside, and cause drought. Both are the result of differences in annual temperature trends over…

Detailed explanation-3: -The air above the land cools to a temperature lower than that of the air above the sea. The warmer sea air rises, and the cooler air blows from the land to the sea to take its place. This is the winter monsoon. Because the winds coming from dry land carry little water, the monsoon region has a dry winter.

Detailed explanation-4: -Winter monsoon: During winter, South and East Asia are cold regions and hence the air above the land surface is denser and colder as compared to the air above the oceans which is warm and lighter. So the wind blows from the land mass to the oceans and thus it brings rains, but in lesser quantities.

Detailed explanation-5: -The correct answer is Northeast monsoon. The Northeast monsoon is commonly known as the winter monsoon.
