Q

How are monsoons formed in the Summer?

2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way

A
  • duration of isolation is long => intensity of sunshine is high
  • land absorbs heat faster than the sea => hot air rises => form a low-pressure area
  • sea has lower temperature => the air to sink => form a high-pressure area
  • wind blows from high pressure area to low pressure area => form SE and SW monsoons

Q

How are monsoons formed in the Winter?

2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way

A
  • duration of isolation is short => Intensity of sunshine is low
  • land loses heat faster than the sea => cold air sink => form a high-pressure area.
  • sea has high temperature => the air to rise => form a low-pressure area.
  • winds blows from high pressure area to low pressure area => form NW monsoons
