What is a geographical effect of the continuity of the Western Ghats in South India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rainfall from the Arabian Sea branch of monsoon becomes high

The correct answer is A. The Western Ghats form a long, comparatively continuous escarpment close to India’s western coast. When the moisture-laden Arabian Sea branch of the southwest monsoon reaches this barrier, the air is forced to rise along the windward slopes. Rising air cools, condenses, and produces heavy orographic rainfall on the western side and nearby highlands. The Ghats therefore help create a wet west-facing zone, while some areas east of the range lie in a rain-shadow region. This process does not create Himalayan glaciers, place the Ganga Delta in South India, or locate the Thar Desert there. Thus, the continuity of the Western Ghats is directly associated with increased rainfall from the Arabian Sea branch.
