Question

define monsoon. what do you understand by break in monsoon? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Monsoon are generally rain bearing and directing winds.

Monsoon Break refers to the happening of wet and dry spells during the rainy season

Answer 2

Breaks in monsoon are related to the movement of the monsoon trough. For various reasons, the trough and its axis keep on moving northward or southward, which determines the spatial distribution of rainfall. When the axis of the monsoon trough lies over the plains, rainfall is good in these parts. On the other hand, whenever the axis shifts closer to the Himalayas, there are longer dry spells in the plains and widespread rain occurs in the mountainous catchment areas of the Himalayan rivers.
