compare and contrast the summer and winter conditions of Asia . from the given picture
Answers
Answer:
In Asia during summer, when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer, the main landmass of Asia develops low pressure. The surrounding seas being cooler, develop high pressure. Since they blow over the oceans they pick up lot of moisture and give heavy rainfall in South Asia. These are known as southwest monsoon winds as they blow from southwest to northeast whereas During winter, when direct rays of the sun fall on the Top of Capricorn, Central Asia becomes extremely cold and develops high pressure. The surrounding oceans are relatively warm and have low pressure over them. The winds start blowing from high pressure to low press (from land to sea). In the south western part of Asia, western doturbances originating in the Mediterrane Sea bring winter rainfall.
