Answer 1

orographic features play an important role in the distribution of rainfall in India. the amount of rainfall in an area is determined by the location of the mountains.

in mountainous areas of khasi jaintia hills annual rainfall exceeds 1000cms. in Ganges valley the amount of rainfall goes on decreasing up the Ganges valley.

the on shore winds give heavy rainfall on windward slopes but rain shadow areas remain dry. garo khasi hills get more than 1000cms of annual rainfall but the amount drops to 200cms over shillong plateau and brahmputra valley lying in the rain shadow.
