WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The North American monsoon is known to many as the Summer, Southwest, Mexican or Arizona monsoon. It is also sometimes called the Desert monsoon as a large part of the affected area are the Mojave and Sonoran deserts.

Detailed explanation-2: -These winds carry moisture and are known as the monsoon winds. In summers in India, monsoon winds generate from the southwest region and carry water from the Indian Ocean. In winters in India, the direction of the wind gets reversed and it flows from the colder land in the northwest region, to the oceans.

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.
