(1x5=5)
What causes the monsoon? The monsoon, which is essentially the seasonal
reversal in wind direction, causes most of the rainfall received in India and some
other parts of the world. The primary cause of monsoons is the difference
between annual temperature trends over land and sea.

 The apparent position of the Sun with reference to the Earth oscillates from the
Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn. Thus, the low pressure region
created by solar heating also changes latitude.

The northeast and southeast trade winds converge in this low pressure zone,
which is also known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ. This low
pressure region sees continuous rise of moist wind from the sea surface to the
upper layers of the atmosphere, where the cooling means the air can no longer
hold so much moisture resulting in precipitation.

The rainy seasons of East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Australia and the southern
part of North America coincide with the shift of ITCZ towards these regions.

Answer the questions:

i. Monsoon is:

(a) A type of sea wave

(b) a seasonal reversal in wind direction

(c) very hot wind

(d) very cold wind.

ii. What is the full form of ITCZ?

(a) Inter-trance Convergence Zone

(b) Inter-tropical Convergence Zone

(c) Inter-tropical Capricorn Zone

(d) Inter-tropical Conveyance Zone.

iii. The major cause of monsoon is the:

(a) difference between annual temperature trends over land and sea

(d) None of these.

iv. It rains when:

(a) moist wind goes down

(b) dry wind meets moist wind
(c) the air can no longer hold moisture resulting in precipitation
(d) annual temperature goes down.

v. Low pressure region is created by:

(a) solar heating

(b) lunar cooling

(c) moist wind
