Answer 2

Answer:

Main features of the rainfall in India are :

• There is rainfall over three months and the rest of the year is almost dry. Seventy per cent of annual rainfall occurs in the rainy season.

• The rains are mainly of relief type. The windward slopes the mountains get more rainfall than the leeward side.

• Only a small portion of the rainfall is received from sources other than the monsoon, like cyclonic rainfall and convectional rainfall.

• The quantity and the time of occurrence of rainfall cannot be predicted as the rainfall is erratic. It is because of this uncertainty that sometimes there are floods; and sometimes droughts.

• India has an agrarian economy dependent on rainfall. As such rainfall affects the economy of the country.
