    The retreating Monsoon gives rainfall to

    A)  Gujarat

    B)  Goa

    C)  Tamil Nadu

    D)  Maharashtra

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Around September, with the sun fast retreating south, the northern land mass of the Indian subcontinent begins to cool off rapidly. With tills air pressure begins to build over northern India, the Indian Ocean and its surrounding atmosphere still holds its heat. This causes cold wind to sweep down from the Himalayas and Indo-Gang tic Plain towards the vast spans of the Indian Ocean south of the Deccan peninsula. This is known as the Northeast Monsoon or Retreating Monsoon.
