Last Lesson What can you tell about the ocean which we learned about in the last lesson? The Indian Ocean is the warmest of all the oceans. It is cut off from the Arctic Ocean by the huge land of Asia. As the winds change, the warm water over this ocean evaporates and brings heavy rains over the land surrounding the Indian Ocean. We have now learned about all five oceans, the Arctic, the Southern, the Pacific, the Atlantic, and the Indian Ocean.

Short Summary Questions from Lesson 35 1. What do we mean by monsoon.— The seasonal change of winds, bringing a change in weather. 2. What is a typhoon.— A strong storm with high winds and large amounts of rain. 3. Name the five oceans.— Arctic, Antarctic or Southern, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian.
