The moving air is known as the wind. The winds that blow according to seasons are known as `monsoon’. 
The lands which receive a good rainfall during a particular season are called monsoon regions. 
Monsoon regions lie between the latitudes 8 – 30 degrees on either side of the equator. India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Central America, east Africa, Brazil, Malaysia, Philippines and Queensland in Australia belong to this region. 
Temperature is high in summer in this region. It is dry in winter and receives rain in summer. Depending upon different physical conditions rainfall varies from place to place.
The temperature in summer is 35 degree cilices and in winter is 21 degree cilices rainfall varies from 100- 200cms.
In this region, summers are from March to mid- June, rainy season is from mid-June to October and winters are from November to February. It receives rainfall from the south-west monsoons from June to September and from the north-east monsoon from October to November.
People of this region eagerly wait for the rains. The people of no other region depend so much on rain as do the people of this region. Among the monsoon lands, India occupies a signification place.
Since the rainfall is not uniform in this region, so is the density of forests. They are called deciduous type of forests. Sandalwood, teak wood, Sal, bamboo etc., are the trees that grow in these forests
