write a short note on south west and north east monsoon
Answers
Answer:
Monsoon (/mɒnˈsuːn/) is traditionally defined as a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation,[1] but is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea.[2][3] Usually, the term monsoon is used to refer to the rainy phase of a seasonally changing pattern, although technically there is also a dry phase. The term is sometimes incorrectly used for locally heavy but short-term rains.[4] [5]
The major monsoon systems of the world consist of the West African and Asia-Australian monsoons. The inclusion of the North and South American monsoons with incomplete wind reversal has been debated.[6]
The term was first used in English in British India and neighbouring countries to refer to the big seasonal winds blowing from the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea in the southwest bringing heavy rainfall to the area.[7][8]

Answer:
Explanation:The south west monsoon, or the advancing monsoon season, lasts from June to September. The intense heat of summer causes the development of a powerful low pressure trough over the north western parts of the Indian subcontinent. Winds originating from a high pressure area centered over the southern Indian Ocean are drawn to the low pressure trough in the north. Since the winds originate over the sea, they absorb an enormous amount of moisture as they blow across the sea. These moisture laden winds cross the equator and approach the Indian landmass from the south west.
