It moves (as do all the wind belts) depending on where the sun's maximum rays are. Areas which have the most direct sunlight will heat up to greater amounts, allowing more moisture to be in the air. Hot, moist air creates regions of ascending air and low pressure and therefore constant clouds near this band (usually near the equator).

It involves the periodic weakening and strengthening of the trade winds below the equator causing warm water to slosh back and forth in the Pacific basin. Completes cycle in 2 - 7 years.

This effect is most prominent during clear nights. The rock and building materials in cities tend to retain more heat and are warmer during the night. This creates a local area of low pressure causing wind to come in from the surrounding rural areas.% Row Count 10 (+ 8) } \tn \hhline{>{\arrayrulecolor{DarkBackground}}-} \end{tabularx} \par\addvspace{1.3em} \begin{tabularx}{5.377cm}{X} \SetRowColor{DarkBackground} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{5.377cm}}{\bf\textcolor{white}{7.}} \tn \SetRowColor{white} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{5.377cm}}{{\bf{What does a monsoon refer to and what specifically causes the monsoon in India?}} \newline % Row Count 2 (+ 2) Large seasonal changes in Earth's global circulation are called Monsoons. Monsoon does not mean rainy season; rather it refers to a particular wind system that reverses its direction twice a year. During winter, long nights and low sun angle cause the cold Siberian High to form over Russia. This influences most of Asia's climate. During the summer, southern Asian heats up a considerable amount causing warm moist air to blow from the ocean to the land. In India, they experience a shift in pressure and winds throughout the year causing the Asian monsoon.% Row Count 14 (+ 12) } \tn \hhline{>{\arrayrulecolor{DarkBackground}}-} \end{tabularx} \par\addvspace{1.3em} \begin{tabularx}{5.377cm}{X} \SetRowColor{DarkBackground} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{5.377cm}}{\bf\textcolor{white}{10.}} \tn \SetRowColor{white} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{5.377cm}}{{\bf{What is the difference between meridional flow of the jet stream and zonal flow?}} \newline % Row Count 2 (+ 2) When the upper level winds are parallel or nearly parallel to the lines of latitude the wind pattern is termed zonal.

Some are clustered near 30N while some are on certain sides of a particular continent. Why is this?}} \newline % Row Count 3 (+ 3) Most deserts exist in places opposite a mountain range from the direction of the prevailing winds. The reason is that as air is pressed "up" the mountains it generates the conditions for precipitation (rain, snow, etc.) by the time the air has moved over the mountains, it's much less moist. Higher in the atmosphere, the now cold, dry air rises and moves away from the equator. At about 30 degree latitudes in both hemispheres (north and south), the air descends. As it warms, the air expands, condensation and precipitation are infrequent.% Row Count 14 (+ 11) } \tn \hhline{>{\arrayrulecolor{DarkBackground}}-} \end{tabularx} \par\addvspace{1.3em} % That's all folks \end{multicols*} \end{document}
