Compared with Eastern Ghats, the continuity of Western Ghats strengthens which effect?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Monsoon rainfall barrier on western coast

The correct answer is B. The Western Ghats extend more continuously along the western side of peninsular India than the discontinuous Eastern Ghats. When moisture-bearing southwest monsoon winds arrive from the Arabian Sea, this elevated barrier forces air to rise. Rising air cools, condenses, and produces substantial orographic rainfall on the windward, western slopes. The leeward Deccan interior receives less rain in a rain-shadow zone. Option A concerns river deposition in the Ganga basin, not the continuity of the Ghats. Option C is unrelated to this mountain barrier, and option D is geographically impossible because Ladakh is a high inland region far from coral-forming marine conditions. Therefore, continuity strengthens the western-coast monsoon barrier effect.
