Which answer correctly relates monsoon rainfall and relief?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Arabian Sea branch gives heavy rain on windward slope of Western Ghats

The direct answer is A: the Arabian Sea branch gives heavy rain on the windward slope of the Western Ghats. Relief means the shape and height of land. Moist monsoon winds moving from the Arabian Sea meet the Western Ghats. They are forced to rise along the side facing the wind, called the windward slope. Rising air cools, water vapour condenses into clouds, and heavy orographic rainfall occurs. The opposite leeward side may receive much less rain and form a rain-shadow area. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because Ladakh lies far inland and is not the first place receiving this branch's rain. Option C is wrong because the Khasi Hills are in northeast India, not the Thar Desert. Option D is wrong because mountains strongly influence rainfall. Exam cue: moist wind plus mountain barrier equals windward heavy rain.
