(ii)The climate of India is strongly influenced by monsoon winds. Hence, it has a monsoon type of climate. (iii)The north- occidental circumstances 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 realm) gains and loses heat very quickly.As a aftermath of this phenomenon, there is a wide difference amongst day and wickedness temperatures in this arena. The day temperature may rise to 50C and slobber down to near 15C the same night. (iv)The southwest monsoon winds ar responsible for rainwater along the Malabar Coast. (v)Jet menstruations are a condense belt of high-altitude winds in the troposphere. The sub-tropical westerly jet well out blowing south of the Himalayas are responsible for the western cyclonical disturbances experienced in the north and north-western split of the country during the winter months.The sub-tropical eastward wind jet stream blowing over peninsular India is responsible for the tropical cyclones that affect the eastern glideal regions of India during the monsoon as well as during the October to November period. (vi)Monsoon refers to the complete regress of winds over a large range leading to a change of seasons. Break in monsoon refers to the starchy and run wry spells of the monsoon. In other words, the monsoon rains take show up for a few days at a time. They are interspersed with rainles s intervals. vii) disdain variations in temperature conditions crosswise India, a sense of unity is imposed by the monsoon.

(v) Parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat and the lee side side of the Western Ghats are drought-prone. * - Answer * - Discussion * - Share (i)The seasonal reversal of wind direction over the Indian subcontinent is the result of the Coriolis force. It is an unmingled force caused by the Earths rotation.The Coriolois force is responsible for deflecting winds towards the remedy in the northern hemisphere and towards the left in the southern hemisphere. (ii)The rainfall received by India is largely payable to the south-west monsoon winds. The eon of the monsoon is between century to cxx days. Hence, the bulk of rainfall received by the country isconcentrated over a few months. (iii)During the winter season, northeasterly spate 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. 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 October to November period. v)Parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat and the into the wind side of the Western Ghats are drought-prone because of the scanty rainfall received by these regions during the monsoon rains. The progressive decrease in the humidity of the winds of the Bay of Bengal branch 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 small(a) rain from the Arabian Sea branch. It is the upwind side of the Gha ts that receives the supreme rain.

(ii) Around the time of its arrival, the normal rainfall increases suddenly and continues for several days.This is known as the burst out of the monsoon. (iii) The monsoon has characteristic wet and dry spells or breaks in rainfall. The monsoon rains take place only for a few days at a time. They are interspersed with rainless intervals. (iv) The moisture is carried by pulsating south westerlies that are affected by different atmospherical conditions, thereby giving monsoon rains an uncertain character. The annual rainfall is highly varying from year to year (v) The rainfall is unevenly distributed crossways the Indian l andscape.Parts of the western coast and north-eastern India receive the maximum rainfall. Regions such as parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Leh and the leeward side of the Western Ghats receive very little rainfall. Effects of monsoon rainfall in India (a) Indian agriculture is largely certified upon the water from the monsoon rains. Late, low or excessive rains have a disallow impact upon crops. (b) due(p) to the uneven distribution 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 climatic pattern.

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 in the southe rn hemisphere. (ii)The rainfall received by India is largely due to the south-west monsoon winds. The duration 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, north-east 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. 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 October to November period. v)Parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat and the leeward side of the Western Ghats are drought-prone becaus e of the scanty rainfall received by these regions during the monsoon rains. The progressive decrease in the humidity of the winds of the Bay of Bengal branch 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.
