Question

Write a note on the rainy season in Karnataka.

Answer 1

Instructions:

• Discuss the facts about the rainy season in Karnataka

Solution:

• The rainfall season is also known as the season of South-west monsoon winds.
  • The Western ghats check the moisture-laden winds blowing from the Arabian sea, resulting in heavy rain.
  • As the monsoon winds eastwards, the amount of rainfall gets reduced. This is because the Eastern maidan is in the rain shadow area.
  • During this season, Karnataka receives about 80% of its rainfall which helps in the cultivation of Kharif crops.
