The Arabian Sea branch brings heavy rainfall to which region?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Western Coast

Answer: D, the Western Coast. During the southwest monsoon, one branch of the moisture-laden winds travels from the Arabian Sea toward India. When these winds reach the west coast, they meet the Western Ghats. The mountains force the air to rise; rising air cools, condenses, and produces heavy orographic rainfall on the windward side. Therefore the western coastal belt receives substantial rain. A is not the best answer because north-eastern India receives heavy rain mainly from the Bay of Bengal branch. B is generally dry because the Aravalli alignment does not effectively block the winds. C is a cold, high region with very little rainfall. Memory cue: Arabian Sea branch plus Western Ghats equals heavy rain on the western coast.
