प्रश्न
Explain the swinging of the pressure belts.
उत्तर
In summer the pressure belts are pushed northwards and in winter southwards.
This shifting takes place up to 5° distance. In summer, it results in a remarkable change in weather and climate, e.g. summer monsoon with thunderstorms, lightning and rainfall etc. while, in winter, the Mediterranean climatic regions get rainfall due to Westerlies coming from the sea towards the land.
