Question

what is meant by rain shadow area and give an example and state the mountains responsible for rain shadow area in india

Answer 1

there are two sides of a mountain range..... windward side and leeward side ....... most of the clouds are stopped by the mountains on the windward side and they rain over there ...... thus the leeward side receives little or no rain...... this leeward side is also known as rain shadow area..... example is that shilling is just 55 km away from mawsynram and cherapunjee which receive high rainfall still Shillong faces water shortage as it is in rain shadow area.
