Answer» (a) Due to the triangular shape of the Indian peninsula and the fact that the western part of the peninsular tip is higher, the south-west monsoon winds are divided into two components – the Arabian Sea branch and the Bay of Bengal branch. (b) In June, India becomes extremely hot which is why the entire Indian subcontinent becomes a region of extremely low pressure. This causes the South East Trade Winds (which usually blow only till the equator) to cross the equator, be deflected due to Coriolis force and enter India. |
