Question 15GS3GS2
Explain the concept of rain shadow effect. How does it influence the distribution of precipitation and vegetation across mountain ranges? (15 marks, 250 words)
Main Body
Leads to formation of corr cumulonimbus clouds - The clouds rain on the windward side of mountain - The slope cross the mountains - Have become light and moisture deficit - Miniscule rain in rain shadow region
Influence of distribution of precipitation:
1Heavy - Little rain - Rainshadow
Windward - dense vegetation, evergreen forests, lush green topography
Rainshadow - sparse vegetation, dry deciduous vegetation
2Precipitation in windward region is high (ex western parts of western ghats)
3Vegetation in windward part - healthy green (dense), (Tibet) - Himalaya - dense evergreen vegetation
4Reflected in faunal variety - rich forest support animals like Red panda, lion tailed Macaque, leopards etc.
Topography determines hydrological events. This shows the intricate connect between lithosphere biosphere and atmosphere
