Question

differentiate between the Arabian Sea branch and the Bay of Bengal branch of monsoon
give their pics also
which shows their direction of movement.

Answer 1

The Difference is between Arabian Sea Branch and Bay of Bengal Branch is mentioned below :-

Arabian Sea- the expanse of salt water that
covers most of the earth's surface and surrounds it is landmass.



Bay of Bengal - A broad inlet of sea where the
land curves inwards.



Water Current Flow - The major difference between
nature of Arabian Sea and bay of Bengal is the directions in which the water
currents flow plus the temperature of water and the obviously the expanse of
water.

These are also the main reasons why our Eastern
coastal line is more susceptible for disasters than Western.

In both Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal currents in
water move from East to West. But in case of bay of Bengal they bring the cyclones,
tsunamis generated in the water towards coast.



Temperature - Also the temperature of both water
bodies, Bay of Bengal being comparatively small water body plus surrounded by
land on three sides approximately has high temperature than Arabian Sea. And as
the temperature of water rises, it is all together more conducive for forming
tropical cyclones which occasionally hits Eastern coastal line.



Role played in Monsoon - There is difference in
both water bodies by the role played by each in monsoon of India. Arabian
Sea has major role in onset of monsoon (forming cell with Mascarene's high in
Indian ocean) and thus this main Arabian Sea branch of S-W monsoon breaks into
two branches as Arabian Sea branch and Bay of Bengal branch near southern tip
of Indian subcontinent. While Bay of Bengal plays a major role in retreating monsoon,
that is the reason why Tamil Nadu coast receives maximum rainfall during
retreating monsoon.
