12.(DescribeTandTexplain the distribution of rainrally

over the sub-continent of India, Relate the tribution of orans in India to the rainfall: distribution.”

Ans .

Rainfall is unevenly distributed over the sub-1. continent of India, The wattest areas include the western coast of the Indian Peninsula, the 1öwery Ganges region and the southern slopea of the Himalayas. The ammual totals in these regions average above 80. At Cherrapunji, there is a yearly average of over 400". However, rainfall decreases rapidly to the east of the western Chats and up the Ganges Plain until it falls below 40" in the Interior part of the Deccan and even goes below 20" in the Indus Plain. Most parts of India receive rainfall in summer except the Coromandel coast and Heat Pakistan which receive some winter rain,

This distribution pattern can be explained aa follows: India has a tropical monsoon climate The amount of rainfall depends on. the relief of the land as well as the direction of the rain-bear far monsoon. In summer, there is established a low pressure area over north-western India: and Pakistan. The resultant summer monsoons are coming from the aouth-west but when they reach the Gangas Delta, they are deflected by the mountain ranges so ad to follow a south-easterly course, These are on- shore wet winde which, together with the topographical. configuration of the sub-continent. are responsible for the heavy rainfall on the western slopes of the Deccan and the Himalayan slopes. Orographic (relief) rain, formed by the, rising up of winds along the slopes and the consequent cooling of maritim air at higher altitudes, is the rule. Eastern and central Deccan lie in the rain shadow and are therefore relatively dry. As the winds travel up the Ganges Plain, they gradually Lose their moisture and by the time they get to the Punjay area, they have become depleted of moisture. Therefore, the amount of rainfall in this part of India is low ewen in summer. In Sind and Rajasthan, rainfall is very little since the monacon coming in from the Arabian Sea is neutralised by the hot dry air from the west which overrides the monsoonal air mass and thus prevents. the formation of rain.

In winter, there is a high pressure centre in the north-west of India. The monacon winds blow down the Ganges Plain as north-west winds and then) become north-east winds. These outgoing winds are. off-shore dry winds. So, winters are usually dry in India. However, in West Pakistan, light rainfall mainly in the form of showers, is brought by cyclones that come from the west; and in the south- eastern part of India, the north-monsoons are able to pick up moisture on their way across the Bay of Bengal and thus bring rain to this part of the eastern coast in winter."

There is a close correlation between the rainfall and the crop distribution. In a tropical country like India, the decisive climatic element that exercises control on vegetative growth is the amount of rainfall, not the absolute tempera

Cultivation of a particular crop 18 successful where, apart from other donditions necessary for its growth, its rainfall requirement or irrigation equivalent is fulfilled. One generalisation can be arrived at in this connection: for places receiving 40" - 80′′ of rain per year, rice, jute, tea and sugar cane are comion; for areas with under 4OW rain, wheat, cotton, millet and oilseeds are

widespread. Therefore, we find most of the rice fields in the lower Ganges Valley and the coastal) plains of the Indian Peninsula; wheat in the Punjab and the Upper Ganges Valley; millet in the Punjab, the Indus Valley, the Upper Ganges Valley and the Daccan; tes in Assam and South India; cattan) in the Punjab, the Upper Ganges Valley and the black cotton soil area near Bombays and jute on the]

Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta. Sugar cane appears in the Middle Ganges Valley as well as on the irrigated fields of the drier parts of the Punjab and the Upper Ganges Valley where a distinct dry spell at the harvesting season favors the concentration of Juice in the canes.
