how do monsoons effect the climate?

Answer 1

Trevor makes an excellent point as usual. Monsoons could not be said to effect the global climate, but are rather the the result of the climate.

However if you consider the impact of monsoons on the local climate where they dump their rains I think you would have to agree that monsoons have a dramatic effect on those parts of the world that depend upon monsoon rains. Certainly if global warming causes changes in the distribution and timing of monsoons those changes will make dramatic changes in those local climates.

Answer 2

It's kind of hard to answer as it's climate that affects monsoons, not really the other way around. It's similar to asking how temperature affects fire.

Rain in general has a moderating effect on temperatures and the water cycle is one way in which heat is distributed, monsoons are a part of the water cycle.

Was there something more specific you had in mind - perhaps add some more details.

Answer 3

you should be asking how climate change effects the weather and causes more frequent and odd monsoons. the weather and climate change currently occuring and affecting every nation has produced alarming results on the weather front. again this is linked to global warming. global warming is the change of temperatures and weather throughout the world to more extreme weather and temperatures. pollution controls and a new efficient, clean energy minded society can start to slow and hopefully reverse the adverse effects.

Answer 4

heavy rains in short time periods
