Question 12
In the lands around the Indian Ocean, the rainy and dry seasons reflect the influence of alternating winds known as monsoons. A gigantic high-pressure zone over the Himalaya Mountains that peaks from December to March produces southern Asia’s dry season by forcing strong ocean winds in the western Indian Ocean to blow toward southward and westward toward Africa. This is the northeast monsoon. Between April and August, a low-pressure zone over India reverses the process by drawing moist oceanic air from the south and west to form the southwest monsoon. This brings southern Asia the heavy rains of its wet season, usually called the monsoon season.
