The monsoon, which is essentially the seasonal reversal in wind direction, causes
most of the rainfall received in India and some other parts of the world. The primary
cause of monsoons is the difference between annual temperature trends over land
and sea. The apparent position of the Sun with reference to the Earth oscillates from
the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn. Thus the low pressure region created
by solar heating also changes latitude. The northeast and southeast trade winds
converge in this low pressure zone, which is also known as the Inter tropical
Convergence Zone or ITCZ. This low pressure region sees continuous rise of moist
wind from the sea surface to the upper layers of the atmosphere, where the cooling
means the air can no longer hold so much moisture resulting in precipitation. The
rainy seasons of East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Australia and the southern part of
North America coincide with the shift of ITCZ towards these regions.
