Monsoons

1. What is a monsoon?
The seasonal reversal of wind direction.

2. What 2 major factors cause monsoons?
The movement northward from winter to summer of the huge upper level subtropical high pressure system, specifically known as the Bermuda High, and
the intense heating of the Mohave Desert creates rising air and surface low pressure, called a thermal low.

3. Give 2 reasons why monsoons could be considered a good thing.
If there was a drought in an area, a monsoon can moisten it and if breaks happen there wouldn't be alot of thunderstorms.

4. Give 2 negatives of monsoons.
To many thunderstorms and heavy rainfall.

5. Why did so many people die here? What exactly happened? Please be complete :)
It flooded and killed people.

6. After everything that you have read about monsoons, what do you think? Are they good or bad? Why?
I think they are both because they can kill people and help us at the same time.
