Sample Questions
The South-West monsoon winds divide into how many branches?
Show answer
Two branches
The South-West monsoon winds separate into two branches: the Arabian Sea branch and the Bay of Bengal branch. The Arabian Sea branch brings rainfall to the western coast and is obstructed by the Western Ghats. The Bay of Bengal branch brings rain to Myanmar, Bangladesh, North-East India, the Himalayan foothills, and the North Indian plains.
What are the areas east of the Western Ghats called?
Show answer
Rain-shadow regions
The eastern regions of the Western Ghats are called rain-shadow regions. This happens because the monsoon winds are obstructed by the Western Ghats, causing maximum rainfall on the western side. As these winds proceed eastward, they get depleted of moisture and bring less rain to the eastern areas, creating a rain-shadow effect.
During which season do tropical cyclones frequently occur in the Bay of Bengal?
Show answer
Retreating monsoon season
Tropical cyclones frequently occur in the Bay of Bengal during the retreating monsoon season (October to November). This happens due to differences in temperature and pressure between land and sea. These cyclones cause widespread damage along their path, particularly along the coastal areas.
What is the average annual rainfall of India?
Show answer
118 cms
India's average annual rainfall is 118 cms. However, there are significant variations across different regions. Some areas receive less than 50 cms (deficit rainfall), others receive 50-250 cms (moderate rainfall), and some areas receive more than 250 cms (surplus rainfall). This variation is due to geographical factors and monsoon patterns.
