    "India would have been an arid land or desert if there had been no phenomena of Monsoons."  Explain by giving three examples.

    Answer:

    India would have been an arid land or desert if there had been no phenomena of Monsoons.

    (b) The lofty Himalayas do not allow the south-west monsoons to cross over to Tibet.
    (c) The peninsular shape sub-divides the south-west monsoons into two branches - the Arabian Sea branch and the Bay of Bengal branch. Thus, covering whole of India and preventing it from becoming a desert.
