Concept of Indian Monsoon



Concept of Indian Monsoon .........
The monsoon is caused by differing temperature trends over the land and ocean. In India, the southwest summer monsoon is attracted by a low-pressure area that's caused by the extreme heat of the Thar Desert and adjoining areas, during summer. During the monsoon, the wind direction reverses. Moisture-laden winds from the Indian Ocean come to fill up the void, but because they can't pass through the Himalaya region, they're forced to rise. The gain in altitude of the clouds results in a drop in temperature, bringing about rain.

When the southwest monsoon reaches India, it splits into two parts around the mountainous region of the Western Ghats in south-central India. One part moves northwards over the Arabian Sea and up the coastal side of the Western Ghats. The other flows over the Bay of Bengal, up through Assam, and hits the Eastern Himalaya range.
