Why is the Arabian Sea branch striking the Western Ghats an example of orographic rainfall?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Moist air is forced to rise over the mountains, cools, condenses and produces rainfall

Moist monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea are forced to rise when they strike the windward slope of the Western Ghats. As the air rises, it cools, water vapour condenses, and rain falls; this is orographic rainfall. Option B describes convectional rainfall, while air descending on the leeward slope usually becomes warmer and drier. Exam tip: Forced uplift of air over a mountain indicates orographic rainfall.
