  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Of the total rainfall in India ___________ occurs due to the South-west monsoons.
    Solution
    $$75$$%
    South West monsoon is the rain bearing seasonal winds that flow from Arabian Sea to the main land of India from the South-West direction. They start to cross India around May, and as per Indian Meteorological Department, the official monsoon season is between June to September. Since this happens in mid-summer, and also the winds give a large quantity of rainfall, they are referred as "Indian Summer Monsoon".

    North East monsoon is the weak rain bearing seasonal winds that flow when the South West monsoon retreats from the Indian mainland. They pick-up the moisture mainly from Bay of  Bengal and gives rain to many places in India during the months of October and November. For this reason, this monsoon is also called as "Retreating Monsoon" or "Retreating Phase of Indian Summer Monsoon"
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    The term 'monsoon' is derived from the _________ word 'Mausim'.
    Solution
    Arabic,
    The word “monsoon” comes from the Arabic word mausim, meaning season. Basically, it describes a seasonal wind shift over a region that is usually accompanied by a dramatic increase in precipitation.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    In the Northern Plains of India, as we move from east to west, the rainfall goes on __________.
    Solution
    Rainfall decreases from the east to the west in Northern India because there is a decrease in the moisture content of the winds. As the moisture-bearing winds of the Bay of Bengal branch of the southwest monsoon move further and further inland, the moisture gradually decreases and results in low rainfall when moving westwards. Consequently, states like Gujarat and Rajasthan in western India get very little rainfall.  
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    The season from June to September is called_______.
    Solution
    The advancing monsoon in India refers to the rainy season that lasts for a period of four months from June to September. The trade winds from the southern hemisphere, which originate over the warm subtropical areas of the southern oceans, bring the south-west monsoon winds into India. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    The lowest annual rainfall in India is recorded at _________.
    Solution
    Jaisalmer,
    While both Jaisalmer and Ladakh in India are dry regions with minimum rainfall, yet as per the records, the area which receives the lowest rainfall in India is in Jaisalmer.

    Ruyli located in Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan is known to receive the lowest amount of rainfall measuring only 8.3 cms annually. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    Solution
    The average annual rainfall is 300–650 millimeters (11.8–25.6 in) but is very unreliable. In much of India, the southwest monsoon accounts for most precipitation.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh get heavy cyclonic rainfall due to ___________.
    Solution
    By the end of October south-west monsoon winds retreat from most of northern India. The low-pressure area lying over Northwest India is transferred to the middle of the Bay of Bengal by the end of October. As a result of these unstable conditions, severe cyclonic storms originate in the Bay of Bengal. These cyclonic storms strike along the eastern coast of India causing widespread rain in the coastal regions. Northeast Monsoon season is the major period of rainfall activity over the south peninsula, particularly in the eastern half comprising of meteorological subdivisions of Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, and Tamil Nadu-Pondicherry. Tamil Nadu coast receives the maximum of its rainfall during October and November - the period of retreating monsoons. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    The season of maximum rainfall is __________________.
    Solution
    The time period from June to September is referred to as Southwest monsoon season. In India most of the rainfall happens in the moth of July to September. India receives these rain due to South West monsoon winds which starts in the month of June from Kerala. South west monsoon season is the season of maximum rainfall.
    Therefore the correct answer is option A.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Indian agriculture greatly depends on _________.
    Solution
    The Indian economy is heavily dependent on agriculture and the livelihood of the Indian farmer largely depends on the Monsoon rains . Southwest Monsoon or summer monsoon in India is a four month long episode from June till September with more than 75 per cent of India’s annual rainfall occurs during time. The fate of the Kharif crops, a major contributing factor to India's economy and survival,  depend on the southwest Monsoon.
  • Question 10

    Most parts of India get, rainfall from South-west Monsoons with the exception of _______.
    Solution
    Most parts of India get, rainfall from South-west Monsoons with the exception of Tamil Nadu.
    Tamil nadu lies on the leeward side for the southwest monsoon winds and receives lesser rainfall. Once the monsoon starts retreating after mid- September, North east monsoon sets in during mid-October. Tamil Nadu lies on the windward side for these winds and hence gets more rainfall during the winter season.
