Where is the effect of the Arabian Sea branch clearly seen?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Western Coast

Correct answer: B, the Western Coast. During the southwest monsoon, the Arabian Sea branch carries moisture toward India’s west coast. When these moisture-laden winds meet the Western Ghats, they are forced to rise. Rising air cools, condensation occurs, and heavy orographic rainfall is produced on the windward side. This is why the Konkan and Malabar coastal regions receive strong monsoon rainfall. A is wrong because Ladakh lies in a high, cold region that is largely sheltered from these moist winds. C and D generally receive much less rainfall because they are farther from the main moisture path or lie in relatively dry and rain-shadow-influenced conditions. The exact amount of rain varies locally, but the clearest textbook association is the Western Coast. Memory cue: Arabian Sea branch plus Western Ghats equals heavy rain on India’s west coast.
