More rainfall on the windward side of the Western Ghats is explained by which combined controls?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Relief and moist winds

Correct answer: A. The Western Ghats form a high relief barrier along the path of moisture-bearing monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea. When these winds meet the Ghats, the slopes force them to rise. Rising air cools, condensation occurs, and rain falls mainly on the windward side. This is why relief and moisture must be considered together: the mountain supplies uplift, while the moist wind supplies water vapour. B, language and currency, are human or cultural features and do not produce this rainfall pattern. C, soil and markets, may affect farming and economic activity but do not explain the immediate lifting of air. D, population and roads, also do not control the orographic process. The leeward side may receive less rain because descending air becomes relatively drier. Cue: moist wind plus mountain barrier equals relief rainfall.
