1.Which region experiences more rainfall?
2.What is the reason for low rainfall in the Central Peninsular India?
3.Why does the eastern part of Central African continent gets less rainfall than the western part despite its location close to the equator?
4.Why does the amount of high rainfall in the western part of the European continent reduce in the eastern part?
5.Why is rainfall more only in the eastern coast of Australia?

Answer

1.The tropical region experiences more rainfall.
2.The Central Peninsular India falls on the leeward side of the Western Ghats and hence a rain shadow region is formed here.
3.

  • Eastern part of the African Continent is a rain shadow region of westerly monsoon winds whereas the western part lies on the windward side and gets more rain.
  • The eastern part of Africa also comes under the influence of the North east trade winds but still receive less rains as they are dry winds originating from the land.

4.There are many mountain ranges in the western part of Europe. These obstruct the rain-bearing clouds coming from the west and therefore the amount of rainfall received is high in the west and it reduces towards the east.
5.The eastern part of Australia is a mountainous region. The winds blowing from the Pacific Ocean are obstructed by these mountains resulting in orographic rainfall towards the east and the formation of a rain shadow zone towards the west.
