What is the primary cause of the Indian Monsoon?
- Differential heating of land and sea
- Earth's rotation
- Ocean currents
- Volcanic activity
Answer: Differential heating of land and sea
The Indian Monsoon is primarily caused by differential heating of the Indian landmass and the Indian Ocean. In summer, land heats faster, creating low pressure that draws moist winds from the ocean. In winter, the reverse occurs, causing dry Northeast Monsoon.
