FAQs on CBSE Class 9 Geography Chapter 4 Climate Revision Notes
1. Write a short note on the distribution of rainfall in India.
In the Climate notes, the distribution of rainfall in India is discussed vividly. The western coast of India and northeastern parts receive the maximum amount of rainfall, while the places in states like Rajasthan and Gujarat receive very less rainfall.
Based on climate, rainfall and soil condition, the vegetation changes. In India, the distribution of rainfall is quite uneven and uncertain too; so it also affects the agriculture period of the country to some extent.
2. What is the time period for retreating monsoon?
From early November till December, the phase of retreating monsoon continues. During this time, the south-west monsoon winds return from the Indian subcontinent as the northeast monsoon winds. Then, it blows as a dry land breeze, but while crossing the Bay of Bengal, it collects moistures and causes heavy rainfall in Tamil Nadu, along with Kerala, Karnataka, etc. With the retreating of Monsoon, rainfall started to decrease but during this time period, several cyclones are formed in the Bay of Bengal which causes heavy rainfall in the coastal regions.
3. What do you mean by Breaks in Monsoons?
Monsoons refer to the seasonal wind direction during a year. During this time, Monsoons can have breaks in between. This means that there are dry and wet spells during the Monsoon season. These spells take place during the Monsoon rains only for a couple of days for a limited period of time. After which, the rains start to go on like usual. This process is known as 'breaks' in monsoons. This can occur at any place, at any time of the season.
4. Why is the delta region of the eastern coast frequently struck by cyclones?
In November, the low-pressure conditions in northwest India are transferred to the Bay of Bengal. This transfer is related to the cyclonic depressions at the Andaman Sea. These cyclones sometimes pass over the Indian east coast, which causes widespread heavy rains. The cyclones in this region are tropical and destructive. The delta regions of Godavari, Kaveri, and Krishna are often struck by these cyclones, which in turn create a large amount of damage to property and life.
5. What are the major climatic controls affecting the climate of India?

Climatic controls are the components that help regulate the temperature in a particular country or region. There are a total of six major controls that influence the effects of climate in India. These controls include relief features, ocean currents, distance from the sea, wind and pressure system, altitude, and latitude.
