Answer to Question 1

Large landmasses become cold in the winter and develop a seasonal high-pressure system from which surface flow is directed off the land. In the summer, the landmasses are heated and develop a low-pressure cell, permitting air to flow onto the land. These seasonal changes in wind direction are known as the monsoons. During warm months, areas such as India experience a flow of warm, water-laden air from the Indian Ocean, producing the rainy summer monsoon.

Answer to Question 2

A sea breeze develops in coastal areas during the warm summer months, when the land is heated more intensely during the daylight hours than the adjacent body of water. As a result, the air above the land surface heats, expands, and rises, creating an area of lower pressure. The cooler air over the water (higher pressure) moves toward the warmer land (lower pressure).
