Question

Give geographical reason.

India receives precipitation from the North-East Monsoon winds too.

Answer 1

1. Very cold winds blowing from the north are obstructed by the Himalayas.
2. Similarly, the South–West Monsoons retreat from the Shiwalik and Himachal ranges of the Himalayas.
3. Because of the obstruction caused by the Eastern and Western Ghats, it rains more in the coastal areas.
4. The rainfall reduces in the leeward side of the hills. Orographic type of rainfall occurs because of the natural obstruction of the Himalayas.
5. These winds return from the Himalayan ranges, and their retreating journey starts. While blowing from the north-east towards the Indian Ocean, these winds bring rainfall again to some parts of the Peninsula.
6. This is the Retreating Monsoon season in India.
