Question

Pressure and wind conditions in India are unique.justify

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The pressure and wind conditions over India are unique. During winter, there is a high-pressure area north of the Himalayas. Cold dry winds blow from this region to the low-pressure areas over the oceans to the south. In summer, a low-pressure area develops over interior Asia as well as over northwestern India.

Answer 2

• During winter, a high pressure area develops north of the Himalayas.

• Cold dry winds blow from this region to the low pressure areas over the oceans to the south.

• In summer, a low pressure area develops over interior Asia as well as over northwestern India.

• This causes a complete reversal of the direction of winds during summer.

• Air moves from the high pressure area over the southern Indian ocean in a south-westerly direction, crosses the equator and turns right towards the low pressure area over the Indian sub-continent.

• These winds are known as south-west monsoon winds.

• These winds blow over the warm oceans, gather moisture and bring widespread rainfall over the mainland of India.
