What is the main reason for the high rainfall in the northeastern states of India?
A. Orographic effect of the Himalayas and Eastern Ghats
B. Cyclones
C. The southwest monsoon
D. The northeast monsoon
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The northeastern states, especially Meghalaya, receive high rainfall due to the orographic effect of the Himalayas and the Eastern Ghats. The moisture-laden southwest monsoon winds are forced to rise over these mountains, causing heavy precipitation.
Explanation:
Warm fronts are characterized by a gradual temperature increase, light to moderate rain, stratiform clouds, and slow movement, often bringing prolonged precipitation.
Explanation:
Fire whirls form from the intense heat of a wildfire, which creates a rotating column of air due to the rapid rise of hot air, often exacerbated by wind shear.
Explanation:
The northeast monsoon is not a dry wind; it is moisture-laden. It brings rainfall to southern India, particularly Tamil Nadu, from October to December.
