How does land-ocean temperature difference create monsoon winds?

  • 1

During summer, land heats up faster than oceans, creating low pressure over land and high pressure over sea. Moist winds blow from the sea to land, bringing rain. In winter, land cools quickly, reversing the pressure system and wind direction, causing dry conditions.

  1. Monsoon winds are caused by the temperature difference between land and ocean. In summer, land heats faster than water, creating a low-pressure area over India and high pressure over the ocean. Moist winds from the ocean move towards the land, rising and condensing to bring heavy rainfall. In winter, the land cools quickly, forming high pressure, while the ocean remains relatively warmer. This reverses the wind direction, sending dry winds from land to sea, leading to dry winter conditions.
