ANSWER
The delta region of the eastern coast of India is frequently struck by cyclones. This is because the cyclonic depressions that originate over the Andaman Sea are brought in by the sub-tropical easterly jet stream blowing over peninsular India during the monsoon as well as during the period between October to November.
(i) These cyclones cause heavy and widespread rain.
(ii)These tropical cyclones are often very destructive.
(iii)The deltas of Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri are frequently struck by cyclones which cause great damage to life and property.
(iv) Sometimes, these cyclones arrive at the coasts of Orissa, West Bengal and Bangladesh.
The thickly populated deltas of Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri are frequently struck by cyclones during Post-monsoon or autumn season.
Explanation:
The eastern coast of India is frequently struck by cyclones during Post-monsoon or autumn season, also known as northeast monsoon season. It lasts from October to November. Tamil Nadu receives most of its annual precipitation during this time.
The low-pressure conditions get transferred from north-western India to the Bay of Bengal by early November. This shift is leads to occurrence of cyclonic depressions originating over the Andaman Sea. These tropical cyclones generally cross the eastern coasts of India, including the thickly populated deltas of river Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri, causing heavy rain and thus harming life and property.
