monsoons are a major factor in controlling the climate of s-e asia. agriculture in india is controlled by monsoons. in india we get 'south west monsoon winds' and 'north east monsoon winds' .s-e monsoons are the winds that bring major moisture to india. they blow during summers. it is the south east 'trade' winds which cross the equator and become s-w monsoons.(ferrel's law). picking up moisture from the arabian sea. n-e monsoons are experienced during winters. the give rain only in some part of india esp. coromandel coast. himalays are an important relief feature for s-e asia they block the cold 'siberian wind's to enter. thus preventing the region from becoming a cold desert. they also block the s-w monsoon winds and prevent them from going away. they aare forced to shed all the moisture in india . himalyan range acts as a barrier for these winds. mountains are also home for wildlife and rare plants. enjoy!!
