Why does the Tamil Nadu coast not get the same rainfall pattern as the western coast?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the western coast is directly affected by the Arabian Sea branch and Tamil Nadu by the retreating monsoon

Answer: B. India’s two coasts are influenced by different monsoon situations and seasons. The western coast receives substantial rainfall when the moisture-laden southwest monsoon, especially the Arabian Sea branch, strikes the Western Ghats and rises. Tamil Nadu receives comparatively important rainfall during the northeast or retreating monsoon, when winds reverse direction and moisture from the Bay of Bengal affects the southeast coast. Thus the source, direction, timing, and relief conditions are not identical. A is wrong because the barriers are not identical in effect. C is plainly false because Tamil Nadu borders the sea. D is false because the western coast receives heavy southwest-monsoon rainfall in many areas. Memory cue: west coast—Arabian Sea branch; Tamil Nadu—retreating northeast monsoon.
