2. Why does India have a monsoon type of climate? 3 m
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Our country India has a monsoon type of climate because the Indian climate is influenced by the winds which are called monsoon winds. ... When these winds blow over the warm oceans, they pick up moisture from these oceans and pick up moisture from them and this results in rainfall in India.
Answer:
The word monsoon is derived from the Arabic word ‘Mausim’ which means season. It describes seasonal wind movement which is accompanied by rain or precipitation. The seasonal reversal in the wind direction during a year is called monsoon. Indian climate is a monsoon type of climate which is characterized by weather conditions that change from season to season.
These monsoon winds are confined to tropical areas between 20 degree N and S latitudes. Due to Himalayas, entire India is brought under the sway of moist laden winds for a few months. Without monsoons India would have been a desert. In India monsoon usually lasts from July to September. 90% of rainfall in India is due to monsoon.
