Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Complete Answer: Southwest monsoon winds are responsible for bringing in rainfall in India. The heating of land and sea during the summer months is the mechanism which sets the stage for the monsoon winds to drift towards the Indian subcontinent.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is known as the Northeast Monsoon or Retreating Monsoon. While travelling towards the Indian Ocean, the cold dry wind picks up some moisture from the Bay of Bengal and pours it over peninsular India and parts of Sri Lanka.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monsoon winds bring rainfall in India.

Detailed explanation-5: -We know that air moves from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones, so the air above the ocean which is a relatively high-pressure zone will rush towards the land. This rush of air will have a lot of moisture which will bring rain and hence monsoon.
