    Which one of the following is not correct about the Indian monsoon?
    Question



    Which one of the following is not correct about the Indian monsoon?

    A.

    Indian monsoon is a planetary wind.

    B.

    There is a complete reversal of winds after every six months in the Indian subcontinent.

    C.

    The plateau of Tibet influences the arrival of the monsoon.

    D.

    ‘Monex’ is related to the research expedition of the Indian monsoon.

    Correct option is A


    Indian monsoon is not a planetary wind. Monsoons are seasonal winds that change direction periodically, unlike planetary winds which are constant and blow throughout the year, such as trade winds or westerlies. The Indian monsoon is primarily influenced by differential heating of land and sea, pressure differences, and orographic features like the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau.
    Information Booster:
    · Monsoons are seasonal winds, distinct from planetary winds.
    · They result from differential heating of the Indian Ocean and the Asian landmass.
    · The Tibetan Plateau plays a crucial role in the onset and intensity of the monsoons by generating low-pressure areas.
    · Monex (Monsoon Experiment) was a significant scientific program to study monsoon dynamics.
    · Winds reverse direction between the Southwest Monsoon (June-September) and the Northeast Monsoon (October-December).
