Correct Answer: monsoon


Solution : The correct option is monsoon .

The winds in a typical monsoon environment, like the one in South Asia, change their direction according to seasonal variations in the temperature between the land and the sea. A low-pressure system forms over the land throughout the summer because the land warms up faster than the oceans. The rising warm air is then replaced by cooler oceanic air, creating a wet onshore flow. This causes the impacted areas to experience intense rainfall.
