Q4752. The Coromandel Coast famously receives a highly significant, life-sustaining portion of its annual rainfall during the winter season. What is the primary geomorphological and climatic reason for this specific phenomenon?
Explanation
The Coromandel Coast receives significant rainfall during the winter due to the retreating northeast monsoon. As these winds blow from the land toward the sea, they pass over the Bay of Bengal, where they pick up moisture. When they strike the coast of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, they cause heavy precipitation. This unique seasonal pattern distinguishes the east coast from the rest of India.
