Convection in nature.

The Monsoon

What can make a wind blow? Convection can. Whenever hot air rises from the Earth, cold air flows over the Earth's surface to take its place. This moving air is a wind.

The Monsoon is a wind which affects much of Asia. In summer, it is a warm, rain-carrying wind which blows from the sea to the land. In winter, it is a dry cool wind, blowing from land to sea.

The Monsoon is a’ convection current wind'. It blows because of

Temperature differences between the land and the sea. In summer, the

Land heats up more quickly than the sea. Cold air flows in from the sea and warm air rises above the land. In winter, the land cools down more quickly than the sea. Cold air from the land flows out to sea pushing warm air upwards above the sea.
