Observe how the monsoon changes direction
Type:
OtherDescription:
This Earth science animation shows high school students how changes in wind speed and direction are associated with the Asian monsoon. The introduction explains how seasonal movement of air pressure belts cause winds to change direction. The animation uses a map to present the average April to December precipitation in Asia during the years 1985-1989. Color-enhancement indicates precipitation, and wind speed and direction are designated by arrows. Movie controls allow students to repeat, pause, or step through the animation, which can give students more time to analyze the images. Copyright 2005 Eisenhower National Clearinghouse
