Question
Identify whether the following statements are correct or
incorrect. Statement 1: Khasi and Jaintia hills receive the highest rainfall, which exceeds 1000 cm. Statement 2: Ladakh and most western Rajasthan receive rainfall above 150 cm.Solution
Let's evaluate the accuracy of each statement based on geographical and climatological knowledge: **Statement 1: Khasi and Jaintia hills receive the highest rainfall, which exceeds 1000 cm.** Â Â Correct.- The Khasi and Jaintia Hills in Meghalaya, India, include places like Mawsynram and Cherrapunji, which are among the wettest places on Earth due to their unique geographic conditions that cause heavy monsoonal downpours. Rainfall in these areas can indeed exceed 1000 centimeters annually. **Statement 2: Ladakh and most western Rajasthan receive rainfall above 150 cm.** Â Â Incorrect-. Ladakh and most parts of western Rajasthan are known for their arid climate. Ladakh, being a cold desert in the rain shadow region of the Himalayas, receives very little precipitation, typically less than 10 cm annually. Western Rajasthan, being a hot desert, also receives very low annual rainfall, well below 150 cm. Thus, Statement 1 is correct, and Statement 2 is incorrect.
