Q2. Why is the winter monsoon called the north east monsoon?

Q3. What is the name of the subcontinent on which India is located?

Dear Student,

• The summer monsoon is called the south west monsoon because the direction of the monsoon winds that reach Indian sub continent come from south west
• The rains that India gets in winters is due to the retreating monsoon, hence returning back in the opposite direction, north east.
• India is located on Indian sub continent, It is so because the Himalayan range demarcates Indian plate fom the larger Asian plates.
