Question

What do you mean by monsoon wind and how it is formed?

Answer 1

The formation of monsoons. In winter the land is colder than the sea, therefore the density and the pressure of the air over the landwill be higher. As a result, windflows from land to sea. In summer the situation will be reversed.

Answer 2

An interchange of air between the land and oceans due to unequal heating and cooling of continents and oceans is known as monsoon winds.

It has an annual period of occurrence. During summer, the land is heated Very much as compared to the oceans which cause which oceans low pressure Over the land and the winds blow from the oceans to the continents. During winter, land cools down faster than the oceans causing high Pressure over continents and low pressure over the oceans and the wind Blows from continents to oceans. The Indian monsoon is the best known Example of this alternating circulation system. There are two types of  Monsoons over India i.e. south – west monsoon and North- East monsoon.
