From sea to land, and land to sea. ]]> 2017-04-07 17:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_108/ysh7l4xf35wz/wish/165441876 lauryn_108 https://padlet.com/lauryn_108/ysh7l4xf35wz/wish/165444104 2017-04-07 17:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_108/ysh7l4xf35wz/wish/165444104 lauryn_108 https://padlet.com/lauryn_108/ysh7l4xf35wz/wish/165444246 Monsoons are created in areas with drastic pressure differences. Because of this, southeast Asia is the perfect place for monsoons to occur. ]]> 2017-04-07 17:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_108/ysh7l4xf35wz/wish/165444246 lauryn_108 https://padlet.com/lauryn_108/ysh7l4xf35wz/wish/165444676 Summer (June-Sept)
The land warms rapidly, but the water in the oceans is still very cold. The warm air from the land begins to rise and the cold air from the oceans begins to fall. Creating wind. As a result, wind in the summer blows sea to land. This causes intense rainfall.

Conversely to how things work in the summer, in the winter, cold air over Asia leaves a high pressure system. Warmer air from the water creates low air pressure. This creates a land to sea wind pattern. This leaves the land very dry and countries experience little to no precipitation. ]]> 2017-04-07 17:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_108/ysh7l4xf35wz/wish/165445247 lauryn_108 https://padlet.com/lauryn_108/ysh7l4xf35wz/wish/165446029 2017-04-07 17:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_108/ysh7l4xf35wz/wish/165446029 lauryn_108 https://padlet.com/lauryn_108/ysh7l4xf35wz/wish/165446728 2017-04-07 17:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_108/ysh7l4xf35wz/wish/165446728 lauryn_108 https://padlet.com/lauryn_108/ysh7l4xf35wz/wish/165447133 Farmers rely on wet monsoon season to grow their crops.
