The Indian Ocean is bordered by Asia, Africa and Australia. The Indian Ocean contains important trade routes for oil and has many major port cities. A port city is a city located on the coast where ships dock and transfer people and cargo to and from land. A few of the port cities on the Indian Ocean include: Singapore, Mumbai (India), Aden (Yemen), Durban (South Africa), Jakarta (Indonesia) and Muscat (Oman).

The Indian Ocean brings powerful winds, called monsoons, to India and parts of Southeast Asia. These winds change direction with the seasons. Summer monsoons carry heavy rainfall and warm, moist air from the southwest Indian Ocean toward India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar and other nearby nations. Farmers rely on the rain during monsoon season to help their crops grow. Winter monsoons blow in from the northeast.

Which of these would not be an effect of summer monsoons?

A
flooding in the coastal regions of Bangladesh

B
roofs torn off homes in Sri Lanka

C
