Monsoon Cycle: Sequence the Steps
Drag each description of a monsoon cycle step from the left panel and drop it into the correct numbered slot on the right panel. Arrange them in logical order from start to end of the cycle.
Available Steps
Low-Pressure Formation: As land heats faster than the ocean, a low-pressure area develops over the subcontinent, drawing in moist air.
Cloud Development & Precipitation: Clouds grow dense with water droplets, which coalesce and fall as heavy monsoon rains.
Solar Heating & Evaporation: Sun heats land and ocean, causing water to evaporate into the atmosphere.
Orographic Lift & Condensation: These winds encounter mountain ranges, are forced to rise, cool, and the moisture condenses to form clouds.
Runoff & Cycle Continuation: Rainwater replenishes rivers, reservoirs, and soil, eventually returning to the ocean, continuing the cycle.
Moisture-Laden Winds: Warm, humid winds from the ocean (e.g., Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal) are drawn towards the low-pressure zone.
