What was the Silk Road?

Why is the monsoon so important in Asia?
The monsoon is a seasonal reversal of winds. In summer they bring heavy rain from the Indian Ocean to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, while winter air is drier. These rains feed rice paddies and rivers, but a late or excessive monsoon can cause droughts or floods.
