Answer to Question 1

Monsoons are torrential seasonal rains. Monsoons happen because summer heating over high continental areas causes a large area of surface low pressure and upward movement of air. Moist air from adjacent oceans moves over the land to replace the rising air. The moist air masses then also rise over the uplands, cool, condense their moisture, which leads to intense rainfall.

Answer to Question 2

The Coriolis effect is the horizontal drift of objects moving over Earth's surface that results from the rotation of Earth. Moving objects bend to the right of their original trajectory in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.
