Answer:

Orography plays key role in occurrence of monsoon rainfall in this region. The precipitation occurs due to the blockage of the mountains to monsoonal flow and entrainment of moist low level air in the unblocked air aloft.

rain caused by obstruction of wind path by mountain is called rainfall

ANSWER ⤵️

Rain shadow area is associated with orographic rainfall. When the saturated air is obstructed by land form barrier such as mountain, it forced to ascend and as it rises, it expands and temperature falls. As a result, condensation takes place and rainfall occurs. In this type of presentation, the windward slope of the mountain receives maximum rain and the leeward slope remains generally drier and is known as the rain shadow area..

Orographic precipitation

Orographic precipitation, rain, snow, or other precipitation produced when moist air is lifted as it moves over a mountain range. As the air rises and cools, orographic clouds form and serve as the source of the precipitation, most of which falls upwind of the mountain ridge.
