Question

Accepted Answer

(d) South West to North East — In summer, a low-pressure area develops over interior Asia, as well as, over northwestern India. Air moves from the high-pressure area over the southern Indian Ocean, in a southeasterly direction, crosses the equator and turns right (southwest) towards the low-pressure areas over the Indian subcontinent. During winter, there is a high-pressure area in the north of the Himalayas. Cold dry winds blow from this region to the low-pressure areas over the oceans to the south.
