Why can rainfall be lower in interior Deccan after the Western Ghats?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Moist winds lose most of their moisture as rain while crossing the Western Ghats

Moist monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea rise along the western slopes of the Western Ghats, cool, condense and produce rain. By the time they reach the eastern, leeward side, they contain less moisture; this is the rain-shadow effect. Option C is close but incorrect because the mountains do not completely stop all winds; they force the winds to rise and release moisture. Exam tip: remember that the western side of the Western Ghats is wetter, while the interior Deccan lies in a rain-shadow region.
