WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -A monsoon is caused by a seasonal shift in the winds. The winds shift because the temperature of the land and the temperature of the water are different as seasons change. For example, at the beginning of summer, the land warms up faster than bodies of water. Monsoon winds always blow from cold to warm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monsoon winds blow from cold to warm regions because cold air takes up more space than warm air. So, monsoons blow from the land toward the sea in winter and from the sea toward land in the summer.

Detailed explanation-3: -(b) Why in India is the summer monsoon wet and winter monsoon dry? In summer, the wind flow pattern reverses itself as air over the continents becomes much warmer than air above the water. A shallow thermal low develops over the continental interior.

Detailed explanation-4: -Seasonal winds are caused by the earth’s atmosphere circulating around the planet. The sun warms up the air over the equator, causing it to rise. This rising air creates a low-pressure area, which sucks in air from the surrounding areas. This moving air is what we feel like the seasonal winds.
