Question
Give the reasons : There is less rain in Rajasthan.
✓
Answer
(1) The south-west monsoon winds blowing from the Arabian Sea give rain to Gujarat and then enter Rajasthan. These winds have very little moisture.
(2) The Aravalli range in Rajasthan which lies in the same direction as the winds, does not obstruct them.
(3) There are less chances for the condensation of the humidity in the monsoon winds. So there is less rain in Rajasthan. In the Tharpakar desert of western Rajasthan there is less than 10 cm of rainfall.
