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.

(b) Punjab gets rainfall in the winter months due to the western disturbances. This rainfall is beneficial for the cultivation of Rabi crops i.e., Wheat and Barley. (c) Mumbai is hotter that Delhi because Mumbai is located on the shore of the sea. This increases the specific heat capacity of the area and the presence of a large amount of water keeps the climate warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
