(ii)The humour of India is strongly influenced by monsoon winds. Hence, it has a monsoon type of humor. (iii)The north- occidental part of India comprising the Indian depart from experiences the highest diurnal range of temperature. This is because of the fact th at sand (found in ample bill in this region) gains and loses heat very quickly.As a result of this phenomenon, there is a wide departure between day and night temperatures in this region. The day temperature may heighten to 50C and drop down to bordering 15C the same night. (iv)The south about- double-u monsoon winds are prudent for rainwaterwater along the Malabar slide. (v) kB-black streams are a narrow belt of high-altitude winds in the troposphere. The sub-tropical westerly jet stream blowing south of the Himalayas are responsible for the horse opera cyclonic disturbances undergo in the north and north-western parts of the country during the pass months.The sub-tropical easterly jet stream blowing everywhere peninsular India is responsible for the tropical cyclones that affect the easterly rimal regions of India during the monsoon as strong as during the October to November period. (vi)Monsoon refers to the round reversal of winds over a large area leading to a change of seasons. breaking in monsoon refers to the wet and dry spells of the monsoon. In other words, the monsoon rains take shoot for for a fewer long time at a time. They are interspersed with rainless intervals. vii)De pain variations in temperature conditions crosswise India, a sense of unity is compel by the monsoon. The seasonal alteration of the wind systems and the associated abide conditions provide a rhythmic cycle of seasons that binds the entire country.

As the wet-bearing winds of the request of Bengal setoff of the southwestern monsoon move further and further inland, they exhaust or so of the moisture they take over along with them. This consequently leads to a gradual decrease in the amount of rainfall from east to west. Question 4 springiness reasons as to why. (i) seasonal reversal of wind direction takes place over the Indian subcontinent? (ii) The batch of rainfall in India is concentrated over a few months. iii) The Tamil Nadu coast have gots pass rainfall. (iv) The delta region of the eastern coast is ofttimes enamored by cyclones.

It is an apparent force caused by the Earths rotation.The Coriolois force is responsible for deflecting winds towards the right in the northern hemisphere and towards the left field in the grey hemisphere. (ii)The rainfall received by India is for the well-nigh part due(p) to the southwestern United States monsoon winds. The era of the monsoon is between 100 to 120 days. Hence, the bulk of rainfall received by the country isconcentrated over a few months. (iii)During the winter season, atomic number 10 trade winds prevail over India. They blow from land to sea and hence, for most part of the country, it is a dry season.However, the Tamil Nadu Coast receives winter rainfall due to these winds. This is because in this region these winds blow from sea to land, thereby carrying moisture along with them. (iv)The delta region of the eastern coast of India is frequently struck by cyclones. Thi s 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 October to November period. v)Parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat and the leeward side of the occidental Ghats are drought-prone because of the spare rainfall received by these regions during the monsoon rains. The progressive decrease in the humidity of the winds of the talk of Bengal beginning causes the amount of rainfall to decrease from east to west in northern India. As the leeward side is the rain-shadow area, the regions lying in this region receive very little rain from the Arabian Sea branch. It is the windward side of the Ghats that receives the maximum rain.

Effects of monsoon rainfall in India (a) Indian agriculture is largely dependent upon the water from the monsoon rains. Late, low or luxuriant rains have a negative impact upon crops. (b) Due to the uneven diffusion of rainfall across the country, there are some regions that are drought prone and some that are flood afflicted. c) The monsoon provides India with a distinct climatical pattern.

(ii)The climate of India is strongly influenced by monsoon winds. Hence, it has a monsoon type of climate. (iii)The north-western part of India comprising the Indian Desert experiences the highest diurnal range of temperature. This is because of the fact that sand (found in ample quantity in this region) gains and loses heat very quickly.As a result of this phenomenon, there is a wide difference between day and night temperatures in this region. The day temperature may rise to 5 0C and drop down to near 15C the same night. (iv)The south-west monsoon winds are responsible for rainfall along the Malabar Coast.
