name the place which receive the highest average rainfall in the world
Answers
Answer:
Mawsynram in Meghalaya, holds the highest average rainfall in the world of about 11,871 millimetres.
Explanation:
Average annual rainfall denotes the amount of rainfall a place receives averaged over a period of time. As the name Meghalaya meaning "land of the clouds" denotes, is a rainy area. Orographic rainfall occurs here due to condensation of the clouds because of the presence of the hills Garo, Khasi and Jayantia.
This mountainous terrain forces the north-moving moist monsoon winds from the Bay of Bengal to converge over Mawsynram. As the clouds uplift over these hills it constantly cools and comes down in the form of rain.
People in Mawsynram are accustomed to the rainy lifestyle of this region. They use grass to cover their homes as soundproof and always carry umbrella.
