Answer:
Western
Ghats receive more rainfall than the Eastern Ghats because
(i) Western Ghats receive rainfall from the Arabian Sea monsoon winds. As
these winds blow over warm oceans, they bring abuntant moisture.
(ii) The Ghats do not allow the winds to cross over without
shedding their moisture on the Western slopes.
(iii) When these winds reach the Eastern coast, they are almost
dry.
(iv) Another branch of South-West monsoon i.e., the Bay of
Bengal branch moves parallel to the Eastern coast. In this way, this region is
located in an un favourable position with reference of the monsoon winds.
