‘Rainfall in India is Orographic in nature.’ Give an example with reference to the distribution of rainfall and the effect of relief on its distribution.
Give a reason to explain why :
(i) the coastal areas of India do not experience a significant variation in temperature between summer and winter months.
(ii) the annual rainfall in Rajasthan is less than 25 cm.
(iii) the Coromandel coast gets most of its rain during the winter season.
(i) This is because of the moderating influence of the adjoining water bodies. The land and sea breezes moderate the temperatures.
(ii) This is because Aravallis are parallel to the Arabian sea branch of S.W. monsoons and are unable to check the winds. This is also because Rajasthan lies in the rain shadow region when Bay of Bengal Branch strikes the Aravallis.
(iii) Coromandel coast gets most of its rain during winter season because of N.E. monsoons which pickup moisture from Bay of Bengal and strikes the Coromandel coast.
