- B.
Winds blow from the sea to the land.
- C.
Monsoon rains begin.
- D.
The land absorbs the heat.
Correct Answer
A. Cool, moist, heavy air replaces rising hot air.Explanation
After warm air expands and rises, cool, moist, heavy air replaces it. This is because as the warm air rises, it creates a low-pressure area, causing cooler air from surrounding areas to rush in and replace it. This cooler air is often laden with moisture, leading to the formation of clouds and potentially rainfall.Rate this question:

- C.

- D.
The hot landmass heats the air above it.
Correct Answer
D. The hot landmass heats the air above it.Explanation
In step 2, the air becomes warm because the hot landmass heats the air above it. The heat from the landmass is transferred to the air molecules, causing them to gain energy and increase in temperature. This process is known as conduction, where heat is transferred through direct contact between objects. As the air becomes warmer, it rises and creates a temperature gradient, leading to the formation of air currents and wind.Rate this question:
