Question

The pressure and wind system in India are unique. Why?

Answer 1

(i) During winter, a high pressure area develops north of the Himalayas. (ii)Cold dry winds blow from this region to the low pressure areas over the oceans to the south. (iii) In summer, a low pressure area develops over interior Asia as well as over northwestern India. (iv) This causes a complete reversal of the direction of winds during summer. (v) 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. (vi) These winds are known as south-west monsoon winds. (vii) These winds blow over the warm oceans, gather moisture and bring widespread rainfall over the mainland of India.

Answer 2

Answer:

India lies in the region of north easterly winds. These winds originates from the subtropical high pressure belt of the northern hemisphere. They blow south, get defected to the right due to the coriolis force, and move on towards the equatorial low pressure area. Hope this is helpful for you. Please mark as Brainliest!!!!
