Question

In spite of being close to the Arabian Sea, why does Rajasthan remain dry?

Answer 1

$\underline\bold {\huge {ANSWER:-\::}}$

● Rajasthan is an Indian state in the north- eastern India.

■ Although being close to the Arabian sea, it is least affected by the Arabian sea branch of monsoon.

■ First of all, the state has Aravalli mountains.

● This mountain range lies parallel to the direction of the monsoon winds of the Arabian sea.

● Due to this factor, the winds by pass this region and no rain is shed as there are no mountain ranges that lie transversely across.

●This region is also on the lower side for the South West Monsoon where Bay of Bengal branch blows.

■ Hills are very low in height .

■ The high pressure system over the region is the main reason for being the dry regein throughout the year.

● Therefore, Rajasthan gets even less than 25 cm of rainfall.

■ It is for these reasons that the Thar desert is formed in Rajasthan.

Answer 2

Answer:

This statement is incorrect because Rajasthan is not that much close to Arabian Sea and it is located 700km far away from the sea.

Due to being called as desert area there are very less sights of water and trees and there is lack of greenery so there are equally less chances of rains and also Aravali hills are not situated in proper directions and cloud passing parallel hills.
