Question

Give two examples of secondary winds.

Answer 1

1. Land and Sea Breezes: These winds blow due to differential heating and occur on a daily cycle; sea breeze blows from sea to land during the day, and land breeze blows from land to sea at night.
2. Monsoon Winds: These are seasonal winds that blow due to differences in heating between land and ocean, causing a seasonal reversal in wind direction, such as the South-West Summer Monsoon and the North-East Winter Monsoon.
