Question

On an outline map of India, show the following:

(i) Areas receiving rainfall over $400$ cm.

(ii) Areas receiving less than $20$ cm of rainfall.

Accepted Answer

The west coast of India and parts of northeast of India gets rainfall above $400$ cm. The west coast gets heavy rainfall from the Bay of Bengal branch as the Western Ghats block the moisture-laden winds. The northeast part gets heavy rainfall when the Bay of Bengal branch hit the Garo-Khasi-Jaintia hills.

Areas receiving less than $20$ cm of rainfall lie in the northwestern parts of India, including parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat. The southwest monsoons wind shed most of their moisture and are dry by the time they get to these parts of the country.
