Solution

Monsoon winds are seasonal reversing winds that are due to the uneven heating of the continents (land) and oceans. They occur on an annual basis. Winds that blow from the Indian Ocean towards the Indian subcontinent in one season are reversed from land towards the ocean in another season of the year.
