Heavy rainfall in the Khasi Hills is linked with which atmospheric-relief process?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Orographic lifting of moist monsoon winds

The governing concept is orographic rainfall. Moisture-laden monsoon winds from the Bay of Bengal move toward the Khasi Hills. When the air encounters the elevated hills, it is forced to rise. Rising air expands and cools; water vapour then condenses into clouds and produces intense rainfall on the windward slopes. Therefore option A is correct. Glacial deposition is a landform-building process involving ice, lava flow is volcanic, and sandstorms are wind-driven events in arid regions. Cherrapunji and Mawsynram are famous examples of very heavy rainfall associated with this relief-controlled uplift.
