- 2Western Ghats✓
- 3Coromandel Coast
- 4Thar Desert
Correct answer
Western Ghats
Explanation
सही उत्तर:
- (C) पश्चिमी घाट
मुख्य बिंदु:
जब दक्षिण-पश्चिम मानसून भारत में प्रवेश करता है, तो उसकी अरब सागर की शाखा सीधे पश्चिमी घाट से टकराती है।
पश्चिमी घाट की ऊँची पर्वत श्रृंखला एक भौगोलिक अवरोध का काम करती है, जिससे मानसूनी हवाएँ अचानक ऊपर उठती हैं, ठंडी होती हैं और संघनन के कारण भारी पर्वतीय वर्षा (orographic rainfall) करती हैं।
