Question

Choose the advantages of having good monsoons.

• A. Summer will be shorter.
• B. We will have a bountiful crop harvest.
• C. We will have floods.
• D. Groundwater level will go up.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A Summer will be shorter.
B We will have a bountiful crop harvest.
D Groundwater level will go up.

Due to India’s location in the tropical region, most of the rain is brought by monsoon winds. Agriculture in India is dependent on rains. Good monsoons mean adequate rain and hence, a bountiful crop. A good monsoon also means that the summer season will be shorter. The groundwater level will also go up with a good monsoon. Floods, on the other hand, are caused by heavy rainfall.
