Aravalli range is the mountain range in Rajasthan that is parallel to the direction of southwest monsoon winds.
Explanation:
- It constitutes the length of 692 km, covering the states of Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, and Delhi.
- The annual rainfall of the region is less than 20 cm because the Aravalli range is under the influence of the Southwest monsoon.
- Southwest monsoon is classified into 2 types, namely, The Arabian Sea branch and The Bay of Bengal branch.
- The Arabian Sea branch couldn't strike the mountain ranges, and the Bay of Bengal branch lose track of the moisture before reaching Rajasthan.
- These are the reasons for the lower rainfall in the region.
