टीपा लिहा
उत्तर
In the monsoon climate region, rainfall occurs in a specific season because -
- The differential heating and cooling of land and water create a low pressure on the land while the sea -+experiences high pressure.
- This is strongly related to the shifting of the ITCZ. During the summer the ITCZ moves north to the latitudes of 20°-25°.
- Several months later, the moisture-laden summer monsoon is replaced by a dry north-east monsoon.
- By this time, the ITCZ has shifted to the southern hemisphere.
- In the northern hemisphere, the winds move from sea to land bringing moisture along with them in summers and gives rainfall.
- In the southern hemisphere, the same conditions prevail when there are winters in the northern hemisphere.
