Question

Name the rainiest parts of India. Why is it so?

Answer 1

1. The rainiest parts of India are Mawsynram and Cherrapunji in Meghalaya.
2. These areas receive heavy rainfall due to the orographic effect. The southwest monsoon winds from the Bay of Bengal hit the Khasi Hills, causing the moist air to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in heavy rainfall. This process is known as orographic rainfall.
