Assertion (A) : Eastern depressions are responsible for heavy rainfall during June to September in India.
Reason (R) : Eastern depressions are mostly originated over Bay of Bengal and travel in north westerly direction across the country.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
This question examines the role of Eastern depressions in causing rainfall in India during the monsoon season (June to September).
Assertion (A) states that Eastern depressions are responsible for heavy rainfall during June to September in India. This is correct. Depressions forming over the Bay of Bengal are a primary mechanism for bringing significant rainfall to India during the monsoon period.
Reason (R) states that Eastern depressions mostly originate over the Bay of Bengal and travel in a north-westerly direction across the country. This statement is also correct. The Bay of Bengal is a common source region for these monsoon depressions, and their typical movement is northwestward, influencing large parts of India.
The origin of Eastern depressions over the Bay of Bengal (Reason R) provides the necessary moisture source. Their north-westerly movement (Reason R) transports this moisture inland, leading to the heavy rainfall associated with the monsoon in India (Assertion A). Therefore, Reason (R) provides a direct and accurate explanation for Assertion (A).
Based on the analysis, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct statements, and Reason (R) correctly explains why Eastern depressions cause heavy rainfall in India during the monsoon months.
