Cause Of Monsoon
According to the Meteorological Administration, monsoons (from the Arabic mawsim meaning “season”) are caused by the temperature difference between land and the adjacent sea. According to Southwest Climate Change, the sun heats land and sea differently, causing winds to tug-of-war and eventually change direction, bringing in cooler, moister air from across the ocean. When the rainy season ends, the wind reverses again.
Distinguish between ‘Burst of Monsoon’ and ‘Break of Monsoon’
A monsoon is a seasonal change in the direction of the prevailing or strongest winds in an area. Monsoons cause wet and dry seasons in many parts of the tropics. Monsoons are mostly associated with the Indian Ocean. The monsoon always blows from cold regions to warm regions. The summer and winter monsoons determine the climate of India and most of Southeast Asia.
