Question

Rajasthan and parts of gujrat recieves scanty rainfall. Justify
your statement

Answer 1

Firstly the Arabian Sea Branch of South West  Monsoon that causes rains in Western and South-Western India runs parallel to the Aravalli range and thus hardly causes any rainfall as the winds do not get interrupted. In the southern Aravallis (near Mount Abu) the mountains have slight east-west span thus receiving good rains in this region.

Secondly the Bengal of Bay branch has got little or no moisture left when it reaches Western India - the reason for relatively dry central India than eastern India, and whatever little moisture it has is stopped by the Aravallis, thus making the western part of Rajasthan a desert while the part to East of  Aravallis is also dry but still has some cultivation.

Answer 2

Rajasthan nd parts of Gujarat receives scanty rainfall because ,

1.) the Aravali Range in Rajasthan lie parallel to the Arabian Sea branch of South West Monsoons, and do not offer any obstruction to the rain bearing winds. 

2.) The second reason is that the hot climate of Rajasthan increases the moisture holding capacity of the rain bearing winds, and does not allow it to shed its moisture in Rajasthan.
