(a)
With reference to Fig. 1, identify the monsoon winds that blow in
December in India.

[1]
|
|
North-east Monsoon
|
|
|
(b)
Explain the formation of the monsoon wind identified in (i).

Area of low
pressure forms over Australia
during summer
India is experiencing winter, on the other hand, forming
area of high pressure
Air
moves from India to Australia due to the difference in pressure
Coriolis
effect deflects
the winds to the left when they
cross equator, forming the North-East monsoon

Using your
understanding of the topic, identify the monsoon wind shown in Fig. 2 and
explain its formation. [4]
|
|
|
It is the SouthWest
Monsoon [1m]
In June, the southern
hemisphere is having winter and the Northern hemisphere is having summer [1m]
The wind moves from
Southern Hemisphere which is of higher pressure towards the Northern
Hemisphere which is of a lower pressure[1m]
Due to the Coriolis
effect, the winds are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere,
which results in the Southwest monsoon winds blowing across India [1m]
