Which factor plays the most significant role in the seasonal change of wind direction in India?
भारत में पवन दिशा के मौसमी परिवर्तन में कौन – सा कारक सबसे प्रमुख भूमिका निभाता है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Monsoon pressure system/ मानसूनी दाब प्रणाली
🟢 Explanation
The seasonal change in wind direction in India is mainly caused by the monsoon pressure system.
During summer, intense heating of the Indian landmass creates a low-pressure area, while the surrounding oceans remain relatively cooler with high pressure. Winds therefore blow from sea to land, bringing the Southwest Monsoon.
In winter, the situation reverses — land cools faster and develops high pressure, while oceans have relatively lower pressure. Winds then blow from land to sea, forming the Northeast Monsoon.
🟢 व्याख्या
भारत में पवन दिशा का मौसमी परिवर्तन मुख्य रूप से मानसूनी दाब प्रणाली के कारण होता है।
गर्मी के मौसम में भारतीय भूभाग अधिक गर्म होकर निम्न दाब क्षेत्र बनाता है, जबकि महासागर अपेक्षाकृत ठंडे होकर उच्च दाब क्षेत्र बनाते हैं। इससे हवाएँ समुद्र से स्थल की ओर चलती हैं और दक्षिण-पश्चिम मानसून लाती हैं।
सर्दियों में स्थिति उलट जाती है — भूमि जल्दी ठंडी होकर उच्च दाब बनाती है और हवाएँ स्थल से समुद्र की ओर चलती हैं, जिसे उत्तर-पूर्व मानसून कहते हैं।
