Choose the correct statement(s) regarding the bay of Bengal branch.

A1 only

B2 only

CBoth 1 and 2

DNeither 1 nor 2

Answer:

The Bay of Bengal branch of the southwest monsoon first strikes the coast of Myanmar (statement 1 is correct), but it does not cause the most rainfall in the Tamil Nadu coast (statement 2 is incorrect).
The Tamil Nadu coast actually gets most of its rainfall from the northeast monsoon (or retreating monsoon) during October to December, not from the Bay of Bengal branch of the southwest monsoon.
The Bay of Bengal branch primarily brings rainfall to northeastern India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and parts of eastern India.
