Question

Rainfall patterns depend on

Options

• the underground water table

• the number of water bodies in an area

• the density pattern of human population in an area

• the prevailing season in an area

Answer 1

the number of water bodies in an area

Explanation:

Patterns of rainfall of an area or region are determined by a number of factors such as availability of water vapours, areas of low pressures, prevailing wind patterns, condensation of water vapours and direction of mountains in the path of winds. Since the number of water bodies in the area affects the availability of water vapours, they will considerably affect the rainfall pattern of a particular area.
