Give a reason for each of the following

Give a reason for each of the following :

  • a) West Bengal gets rainfall from summer monsoon much before Uttar Pradesh.
  • b) Mawsynram is the rainiest place in the world.
  • c) Himalayas act as a climate devider.

a) The reason why Summer monsoon arrives in West Bengal before Uttar Pradesh :

The Southwest monsoon wind from the Bay of Bengal branch most from Eastword to westward and get dryer as the distance from the Sea increases. As West Bengal lies on the eastward side, it Encounters rainfall much before Uttar Pradesh.

b) Mawsynram is the rainiest place in the world :

Mawsynram experience Orographic rainfall as it is located on the windward side of Garo Hills. Southwest monsoon winds from the Bay of Bengal branch bring heavy rain to this area. Moreover, the funnel shape of Garo, Khasi and Jayantia Hills help in the trapping of Clouds leading to more rain.

c) Himalayas act as a climate devider :

Himalayas act as a climate barrier because :
  1. Firstly, it prevent the cold winds of Central Asia from entering India. This prevents India from experiencing very cold winters.
  2. Secondly, also prevents rain-bearing winds from leaving the country, thus, allowing the country to receive sufficient rainfall.
