How are monsoon winds similar and different from a sea breeze?
Answers
Answer:
Land and sea breezes occur on a daily basis while monsoon winds are seasonal or we can say annual winds.
The monsoon winds blow during particular period of a season and then reverses its direction after that season is over.
Land and sea breeze occur every day throughout the year. While sea breeze blows during the day, land breeze blows during night.
We can compare sea and land breeze with monsoon winds. Monsoon winds are just like the sea and land breeze but it is on a larger scale.
Monsoon winds blows south west during summer season ( in India) like sea breeze blows in a particular direction ( from sea to land) during the day.
But in winter the monsoon winds reverses its direction from south west to north east just like the opposite of sea breeze ( land breeze ; from land to sea) during night.land and sea breezes are experienced along the coastal region due to local variation in temperature and air pressure between land and sea
where as the monsoon winds are experienced over large area of tropical region due to great contrast in temperature and air pressure between land and sea
land and sea breezes occur daily
land breeze blows from land to sea at night and sea breeze blows from sea to land during daytime
whereas monsoon winds are seasonal
they blow from sea to land for 6 months in summer and from land to sea for 6 months in winter
