​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

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!
