In which region is rainfall generally not very high?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ladakh

Direct answer: B, Ladakh. Ladakh lies in the Himalayan rain-shadow region. Moist monsoon winds lose much of their moisture when they rise over mountain barriers, so comparatively little rain reaches Ladakh. Its high altitude, cold conditions and dry environment also make it a low-rainfall region. B is therefore correct. A, Meghalaya, is famous for exceptionally heavy rainfall because its hills receive moisture-bearing monsoon winds and force them upward. C, the Konkan Coast, lies along the western coast and receives heavy rainfall from the Arabian Sea branch, especially near the Western Ghats. D, the Malabar Coast, is also on the windward western side and generally receives substantial monsoon rain. Thus three options represent wet regions, while Ladakh represents a dry region. Memory cue: mountains can create a rain shadow; Ladakh is a classic dry rain-shadow area.
