Q

Which is TRUE of Monsoons?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Seasonal wind patterns in the Indian Ocean and surrounding regions • Difference between local gusty winds and large-scale, seasonal systems • How often monsoons change direction and what causes that change

💭 Think About

• Think about whether monsoons are defined more by their strength, their direction, or their seasonal pattern. • Ask yourself: do monsoons change direction with every passing low-pressure system, or on a more regular, long-term cycle? • Consider which choice best matches a wind system that is tied to seasonal heating and cooling of land and sea, not just daily weather changes.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which option mentions a regular, seasonal reversal rather than constant or random variability. • Eliminate any choices that describe winds as light and variable or always from the same direction all year, since that does not match classic monsoon behavior. • Focus on the option that connects monsoons with a predictable, periodic change in direction, not just short-lived storms.
