Short Answer TypeMention the different sources of rain in Punjab and Tamil Nadu during the winter
season.
State the benefits that are derived from the local winds that blow in summer in the following states:
i. Kerala
ii. West Bengal
Mention the geographical reason for each of the followings:
i. Patna receives heavier rain than Delhi.
ii. Western Rajasthan receives no rain from the Arabian Sea branch of the South West Monsoon winds.
iii. Mangalore is not cold even in the month of December.
i. The Bay of Bengal branch, which brings rainfall to the north eastern states due to the presence of mountain ranges, sheds its moisture as it travel towards the west. Thus there is a decrease in rainfall as one goes from east to west. Since Patna lies in the lower Ganga valley and Delhi lies further west of Patna, it rains more in
Patna than in Delhi.
ii. The Arabian Sea branch of the South west monsoon blows parallel to the Aravalli Hills. Since the moisture-bearing winds do not strike the mountains, they do not cause any precipitation in Western Rajasthan.
iii. Mangalore is a coastal region which experiences moderate climate due to the influence of the sea. It does not experience extreme climate. Hence, Mangalore is not cold even in the month of December.
