Describe the wind direction of monsoons and the effect that they produce upon surface currents?
A monsoon or "hurricane" are very large and very powerful storms. the strength of the storm will depend on how long it has had to form, but the stronger the storm is... the stronger the winds are. the winds given off from a monsoon can affect the direction of the wind and the affect those winds have on the currents. if the winds pick up just enough to redirect the trade winds, westerlies, ect... then the currents direction may also be changed (temporarily). the affect the storm has on the current may cause the disaster to get worse. but those surface currents may also not only change the weather but the fishing as well. it (in some cases) has caused famine due to a lack of fishing. so a monsoon is one of the most deadly natural disasters. the change of the surface currents may be a threat to countries that rely on fishing for food.Copy and paste this to your novelstars suite submission 19 semester 2 question #32.http://www.novelstars.com/Monsoons are strong seasonal winds near India.

Why you have wet skin when humidity is high?
Well the moist in the air around you is very abundant in an humidity state. Which the hairs on your skin to pick it up
Which would indicate foul weather might be approaching?
The winds will pick up, the sky will darken and the waves will get choppy. It is best to head in when this is occurring.
What it mean that wood is a material hygroscopic?
a material is hygroscopic if it tends to pick up water from the air. Wood tends to pick up and give off water to the air. Different kinds of wood will pick up more or less. Every kind of wood has a balance point where it will not pick up more water. This point depends on the temperature and relative humidity of the air. The more moist the air, the more the wood will pick up, up to a point.
What weather data can be observed with radar?
A Doppler radar is used for "seeing" precipitation and how heavy it is. It can also see the direction the precipitation is moving and the winds inside the rain clouds or thunderstorms and can pick out the rotation which can lead to a tornado.
Why the bulk of rainfall in India is concentrated over a few months?
It is due to the monsoon seasons. India experiences the tropical monsoon climates, during with the month of June and September experience the southwest monsoon and during October to January experiences the northwest monsoon. Monsoon brings with it lots of rain moving down along the globe as the winds pick up lots of water which becomes water vapor forming precipitation(rain). Hence, bulk of rainfall in India is concentrated over a few months, with different parts experiencing different times of heavy rain
What do strong winds readily pick up and carry?
Strong winds readily pick up and carry small grains of sediment. Your welcome!
Where is wispering winds in pixie hollow?
Whispering Winds is where you play the Petal Pick-Up game in Cherryblossom Heights. It's not actually a real place your fairy can fly to, but when you click on "Petal Pick-Up" it says; Traveling to Petal Pick-Up in Whispering Winds.
Where are monsoons very common?
A monsoon is a phenomena where the prevailing wind direction shifts with a change in the seasons. It is most commonly associated with the southwest part of India (and nearby regions) where the the winds shift from the Northeast (in the direction of China) in the winter to the Southwest coming from over the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea). The winter winds are comparatively dry since they have already dumped most of their moisture as they pass over all that land and over the Himalayas. The summer winds pick up lots of moisture coming over all that warm water in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea and dump heavy rains as they pass over land. Strictly speaking a "monsoon" is the phenomena of prevailing wind direction shifting drastically (about 180° around the Indian subcontinent) with the change of seasons, but in actual usage, we commonly associate it with the heavy rains that come with the shift. Because the summer winds pass over a fair amount of land before they hit the Himalayas (and because at those altitudes snow is a lot more common than rain) those mountains don't normally see the heavy rainfall we think of when we talk about a monsoon - but they do see the wind shifts so technically "monsoons" are also common there. Sub-Saharan Africa also experiences the monsoon wind shifts but not the torrential rains that the Indian subcontinent experiences, just a shift from arid, to somewhat rainy. Parts of east Asia including Indo-China, the Philippines, China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan experience a monsoon with warm rainy summers when the winds are southeastern and dry, cold winters when the winds are northeastern (from the direction of China, Mongolia, and Siberia). Australia gets some of this effect too. Europe and the Americas get some significant weather shifts with some changes in prevailing wind directions, but they don't quite qualify as monsoons.

How do Sand dune's move?
Sand can only be moved by strong, steady winds. The air must be moving at least 15 miles per hour to be able to pick up sand grains. In the Tularosa basin, it is primarily between February and April that the winds are strong enough. These winds are called unidirectional winds because they always move in the same direction, from the southwest to the northeast. As the wind blows, it pushes the sand ahead of it, so individual dunes are slowly moving to the northeast.
Why Punjab receive winter rainfalll?
Tamil Nadu is situated on the eastern side of the peninsular India. During winter the north east monsoon winds blow from the land towards the ocean. While it blows over the BAY OF BENGAL it carries along moisture with it and when it hit the eastern ghats it gives rainfall to Tamil Nadu.
The heavy rains in South Asia are due to the?
summer monsoons that pick up moisture from the southwest.
Why did the wright brothers pick Kittyhawk north Carolina as a place for the experimental flights?
Because of the stong winds there! :)
Why did the wright brothers test biplane in the morning?
The winds pick up in the afternoon. Morning flight trials are safer.
How do dust storm forms?
strong winds pick up loose dirt particles and swirls them around in the air.
