| 1. | Large-scale thermal lows over continents help drive monsoon circulations.
|
| 2. | Thermal lows tend to have weak circulations, and can extend to in height.
|
| 3. | Large-scale thermal lows over continents help create pressure gradients that drive monsoon circulations.
|
| 4. | Development of thermal lows inland of the coastline lead to the development of sea breezes.
|
| 5. | Highly elevated surfaces can induce a thermal low, which then augments the environmental wind flow.
|
| 6. | Within the tropics, thermal low circulations over terrain and high plateaus can drive monsoon circulations.
|
| 7. | Thermal lows form due to localized heating caused by greater sunshine over deserts and other land masses.
|
| 8. | Without the thermal low pressure caused by the heating, there was no monsoon over the Indian subcontinent.
|
| 9. | The warmer air expands, becoming less dense than the surrounding air mass, and creating a thermal low.
|
| 10. | Elevated areas can enhance the strength of the thermal low as they warm more quickly than the atmosphere which surrounds them at the same altitude.
