Question

Give reasons for the following:
(i) Mumbai gets more rainfall than Pune.
(ii) The moisture laden winds passing over Rajasthan do not saturate,
(iii) S.W. monsoon withdraws from India in October/November​

Answer 1

Answer:

i. Mumbai receives more rainfall than Pune as it is situated on the coast and Pune is inland. Mumbai lies on the windy side of Western Ghats while Pune is situated on the sheltered side.

ii. This is because the aravalli range is parallel to the moisture laden arabian sea branch of the south west monsoon winds and since rajasthan is on the rain shadow region of the aravalli range it practically remains dry throughout the year.

iii. Usually, South India gets more rainfall. Complete answer: - In the months of October and November, the Monsoon winds begin to withdraw because at this time due to the Southwest motion of the Sun, the Monsoon trough of low pressure over the Ganga Plains becomes weaker.
