why is it getting high rainfall?
Because of the orographic features. The clouds strike Cherrapunji perpendicularly and the low flying clouds are pushed up the steep slopes. It is not surprising to find that the heaviest rainfalls occur when the winds blow directly on the Khasi Hills.
Cherrapunji
The major part of the rainfall at Cherrapunji can be attributed to the orographic features. When the clouds are blown over the hills from the south, they are funneled through the valley. The clouds strike Cherrapunji perpendicularly and the low flying clouds are pushed up the steep slopes. It is not surprising to find that the heaviest rainfalls occur when the winds blow directly on the Khasi Hills.
chemical and physical processes include the formation of clouds On Earth, clouds are formed as a result of saturation of the air when it is cooled to its dew point, or when it gains sufficient moisture (usually in the form of water vapor) from an adjacent source to raise the dew point to the ambient temperature. how is it classified? Stratus, cirrus, stratocumulus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus. where is it formed? In the Earth's homosphere where did it get it's name from? The origin of the term "cloud" can be found in the Old English words "clud" or "clod", meaning a hill or a mass of rock, because of the similarity in appearance between a mass of rock , it got the name. what is the reason behind it's luminance? The luminance or brightness of a cloud is determined by how light is reflected, scattered, and transmitted by the cloud's particles. Its brightness may also be affected by the presence of haze or photometeors such as halos and rainbows. does it have an effect on climate change? Yes, it causes rain. how? Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then become heavy enough to fall under gravity from clouds.. can you name the place where it rains the most? Cherrapunji where is it located? It is situated on the southern slopes of the Eastern Himalaya in Shillong.

Cherrapunji [SEP] Causes of high rainfall
Most of the rain is the result of air being lifted as a large body of water vapour. The extreme amount of rainfall is perhaps the best-known feature of orographic rain in northeastern India. Occasionally, cloudbursts can occur in one part of Cherrapunji while other areas may be totally or relatively dry, reflecting the high spatial variability of the rainfall. Atmospheric humidity is extremely high during the peak monsoon period. The major part of the rainfall at Cherrapunji can be attributed to the orographic features. When the clouds are blown over the hills from the south, they are funneled through the valley.
