ASSERTION(A) : The monsoon of the southern and eastern Asia driven by the location and size of the Asian landmass and its proximity to the Indian Ocean.
REASON(R) : The wind and pressure patterns in the upper air ciculation are associated with the generation of monsoonal flows.

A.
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
The south west monsoon is noticeable in east and north of Asia. Asian inland in summer forms low pressure region leading wet oceanic air of Indian Ocean flow over inland Asia generating continuous precipitation even floods. At the Equator area near India frequent westerly winds occur at the surface almost constantly round the year. The surface easterlies reaches near 20* N in February and soon retreat northward. Due to strong northernly component of easterlies drastic chnages occure in upper-air circulation.

Acid rain
Global warming
ASSERTION (A) : Energy flow shifts from production to respiration in the entrophic stage, with oxygen demand exceeding oxygen availability.
