Flood and drought are the areas of heavy and scanty conditions of rain respectively.
Flooded Areas: These are the areas that face the monsoon humid air directly. These are found as the front slopes opposite to winds direction. Due to the location, these areas receive heavy rainfall during rainy season. So these areas are called the’areas of heavy rainfall.
For example: western slopes of Western Ghats in India.
Drought Areas: The areas which receive inadequate or no rainfall for a long time are called the drought areas. There is very little or no water available during a drought. Most vegetation in such areas gets dried up due to lack of water in the region. For example: Eastern slopes of Western Ghats in India.
