Monsoon Zone

Monsoons are driven by wind direction changes due to differential heating of land and sea. In winter, high pressure over land causes dry winds, leading to droughts. In summer, low pressure draws moist ocean air inland, causing heavy rains. While monsoons are vital for agriculture, they also bring floods and cyclones. The cycle ends as temperatures drop, reversing the winds.
