Question

Why do the interior of the Deccan plateau and east of the Sahyadris receive low rainfall?

Answer 1

• Deccan plateau is a large plateau in India covering southern part of India.
  
• It is located between Eastern and Western Ghats. It is like a downward pointing triangle.
  
• Eastern region of Western Ghats and east of Sahyadris lie in the rain shadow region. Western Ghats are very tall that it blocks moisture laden south-west winds to reach them and hence receives scanty rainfall.
