Main Body

Features of Monsoon:

(i) Annual phenomena - occurs every year

(ii) Bidirectional winds - moisture comes in 4 directions mostly

(iii) Summer marine rainfall - with 90% rainfall contribution (Cy work)

(iv) Vegetative growth - influences Deciduous and moist forests; Evergreen forests in western states and North east India

(v) Loose water as it moves inwards due to orographic nature

Casative Factors:

(i) Pressure Gradient Theory:

a) India gets warmer in summer

b) Air expandslow pressure created

c) Air surrounding from oceans brings rains

(ii) Jet Stream Theory:

a) Monsoon is caused by the intertropical convergence zone

b) The zone moves North in summers, resulting in circular (clockwise) movement of winds

c) The advent and departure also depends on the subtropical jet stream
