The Arabian Sea branch causes heavy rainfall on which coast?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Western coast

Direct answer: A, the western coast. The Arabian Sea branch of the southwest monsoon approaches India from the southwest and first strikes the western coast. The Western Ghats force the moist air to rise. As the air rises, it cools and condenses, producing heavy orographic rainfall on the windward western slopes and nearby coastal areas. A is correct because the west coast lies directly in the path of this moisture-bearing branch and is close to the Western Ghats. B, eastern Rajasthan, lies far inland and is not the main coastal region affected by this branch. C, Ladakh, is a cold desert in the rain-shadow region and receives very little rainfall. D, Bundelkhand, may receive monsoon rain but is not the coast where this branch produces its characteristic heavy rainfall. Memory cue: Arabian Sea branch + Western Ghats = heavy rain on India’s west coast.
