region.
(iv) The leeward side of the western Ghats also lies in the rain shadow of
S.W. monsoon.
(v) With the result, areas lying at the same latitude are unable to receive
rains, if they are on the leeward side of the Western Ghats.

Why does the rainfall decrease from east to the west in northern India?
(i) The northern plains receive rains from the Bay of Bengal branch of the S.W. monsoons. (ii) It strikes the Myanmar's Arkan mountains and gets deflected westward along the Himalayas. (iii) Maximum precipitation is recorded in the north-eastern part of India and West Bengal. (iv) As the monsoon movRead more
