Answer 1

Answer:

It is because the western slope gets much heavier rainfall than the eastern slopes. Moisture laden air moves eastwards across, the Western Ghats during the monsoon season.

Answer 2

Answer:

The western ghats cause orographic rain by facing the rain bearing moist winds to rise along the western slopes of the ghats. Thus, the western slopes get heavy rain more than 250 cm and remain wet throughout the year. Therefore, trophical rain forests are found in this area which is covered with thick forests.
