Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a major factor in the formation of monsoons? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand what monsoons are. Monsoons are seasonal winds that bring heavy rain.
  • Step 2: Learn about heating. Land and water heat up at different rates. This is called differential heating.
  • Step 3: Recognize the effect of heating. When land heats up faster than water, it creates low pressure over the land.
  • Step 4: Identify the wind movement. Air moves from high pressure (over water) to low pressure (over land), creating winds.
  • Step 5: Connect the dots. These seasonal winds are what we call monsoons, which are influenced by the heating differences between land and water.
