Question 10

The Western Ghats play a crucial role in shaping Kerala's climate and monsoon patterns. Which of the following best describes their primary influence on the Southwest Monsoon rainfall distribution in the state?

Accepted Answer

A. They act as a physical barrier, forcing the moisture-laden Southwest Monsoon winds to rise, condense, and cause heavy orographic rainfall on their windward slopes. — The Western Ghats are a major physiographic feature that intercepts the Southwest Monsoon winds. As these winds strike the western slopes (windward side), they are forced to ascend, cool, condense, and precipitate heavy rainfall. This phenomenon, known as orographic rainfall, is the primary reason for the abundant rainfall in Kerala during the Southwest Monsoon. Options B, C, and D describe incorrect or secondary effects, or misrepresent the overall climate.

Answer

B. They facilitate the entry of dry continental air masses, leading to a significant reduction in rainfall across the central districts during the monsoon season.

Answer

C. They cause the Northeast Monsoon to intensify significantly, resulting in prolonged periods of heavy rainfall in the coastal plains during winter months.

Answer

D. They create a strong rain shadow effect on the entire eastern side of Kerala, making it uniformly arid throughout the year.
