Question
India would have been an arid land or desert, if there had been no phenomena of monsoons. Explain it giving four points.
Solution
Monsoons are the rain bearing winds in India. India's climate, (temperature and rainfall) depend entirely on monsoons. India would have been arid, like West Asia, has there been no monsoons. The winds would have become dry till these reached western parts (like Rajasthan). Without monsoons, there would not have been dense forests in India. It would have the desert vegetation like bushes and shrubs. Monsoons are wet and these pick up moisture from Indian oceans, but here the prevailing winds would have come from land and would have been dry.
