Why are Cherrapunji and Mawsynram important in the Khasi Hills?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because of very high rainfall

The governing concept is orographic rainfall caused by the interaction of monsoon winds with relief. Cherrapunji and Mawsynram lie in the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya, where moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal are funnelled toward the steep hills. The hills force the air to rise; rising air cools, condenses and produces very heavy rainfall. This relief-and-monsoon interaction explains their global reputation for exceptionally high rainfall. Option A is correct. Black soil is a soil characteristic, not the reason for the rainfall record; coral reefs are marine formations, and glaciers occur in permanently cold high mountains. Therefore B, C and D do not explain the importance of these Khasi Hills locations.
