The impacts of the direction of mountains on the climate of India are as follows:
1. Due to the location of Great Himalayas in the North of India, the climate is gentle and cool.
2. Due to the direction of Himalayas, icy polar winds from Siberian region can not enter into India. So, Indian climate presents the monsoon type conditions.
3. Due to the location of mountains, they are helpful in causing the rainfall by blocking the Summer Monsoon.
4. The Aravallis lie parallel to the direction of Monsoon winds, so they are unable to block the humid winds and so there are areas of scanty rainfall found in Rajasthan and climate is arid or semi – arid there.
5. The location of Western Ghats is responsible for humid climate on their western slope, as well as for dry climate on their eastern slope.
