The best Indian example of rain shadow is related to which physical region?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Leeward side of Western Ghats

The direct answer is A, the leeward side of the Western Ghats. Rain shadow develops when moist winds rise over a mountain. The windward slope receives rain as air rises, expands and cools. After crossing the crest, the air descends on the opposite, leeward side; descending air warms and becomes relatively dry, so rainfall is low. Option A is correct because the Deccan side east of the Western Ghats is a classic Indian rain-shadow region. Option B, the Sundarbans Delta, is a wet delta, not a rain-shadow example. Option C, Lakshadweep coral, describes coral islands, not mountain-related rainfall. Option D, Ganga Khadar, is young alluvial soil near floodplains, not a rain-shadow landform. Exam cue: windward side is wetter; leeward side is drier.
