Where are monsoon winds found? Briefly describe the air circulation and resulting climate conditions in both winter and summer



Answer: Monsoon winds are found in Asia, primarily over India and Southeast Asia. In winter, the land cools more than the ocean and this cool air sinks and moves toward the ocean, resulting in dry conditions. In summer, the land heats more than the ocean and as this warmer air rises, the cooler, moister air from over the ocean moves over the land resulting in wet rainy conditions.
