Why does the Bay of Bengal branch cause very heavy rainfall in north east India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Moist air rises after striking the Khasi and Garo hills

The Bay of Bengal branch reaches north-east India with abundant moisture collected from the sea. The Khasi and Garo Hills obstruct these winds, forcing them to rise, cool, condense and produce heavy rainfall. Option B is incorrect because these winds originate over the Bay of Bengal, not dry Central Asia. Exam tip: rainfall caused when moist air is forced to rise over hills is called orographic (relief) rainfall.
