Question

which statement best describes monsoons? they force cool, moist air from oceans to rise. they are winds that blow in the opposite direction of a normal wind. they bring heavy rain in the winter and in the summer. they influence precipitation as wind moves near a mountain.

Explanation:

Monsoons are seasonal winds. In winter, they bring dry air (not heavy rain). The first option about forcing cool moist air to rise is not the key defining characteristic. The fourth option about influence near - mountain is more related to orographic precipitation. Monsoons are winds that reverse direction seasonally (blow in the opposite direction of the normal wind for a particular season).

Answer:

They are winds that blow in the opposite direction of a normal wind.
