Rainfall factor (1) monsoon system
Monsoons are winds that change directions seasonally
Why are the winds changing directions?
They are formed by the differences in the heating of land and sea.
Change in temperature -> change in air pressure
P.18

Remember a few rules:
1.high temperature → low pressure
2.hot air rises // cold air sinks
3.Air moves from high pressure to low pressure!
(Just like you! stressful → relax)
*Remember either summer or winter case, and the other is just the exact opposite!
