Asia has an intense monsoon, but North America also experiences a low-intensity monsoon. What causes monsoons?
◦ The oceans warm faster than the continents during the summer and spawn cyclonic storms that move toward the continents.
◦ The horse latitude high pressure system breaks down in summer, leading to monsoon moisture in desert locations like southwestern North America and India.
◦ Heating of the polar regions in summer due to long days causes air to flow toward the poles in summer, drawing moisture from warm ocean dominated air masses.
◦ The heating of the continent during the summer produces a persistent low pressure over the continent that draws warm moist air masses from adjacent oceans.
