Review What effect can mountains have on trade and migration? What about culture? What about population?

B. Mt. Everest The highest point in the world 29,035 feet (5+ miles) Sits on the border of Nepal and China Still growing today, but less than 2 inches per year

E. Deccan Plateau and Ghats The Deccan Plateau is surrounded by the eastern and Western Ghats (mountains).

Deccan Plateau and Ghats Why do you think the Deccan Plateau is arid? Rain shadow effect.

II. Climate The climate of much of this region is shaped by monsoons Strong, seasonal winds that create distinct rainfall patterns In summer, monsoons blow in from the ocean toward the land, bringing heavy rains

Monsoons Challenges of summer floods: Death, polluted water, and disease Crop loss Closed streets, schools, and businesses In the winter months, little to no rainfall

Supual, in the northern Indian state of Bihar, as seen from the air on August 2, 2007. Though the monsoon is an annual event, this is the heaviest season Bihar has seen in 30 years, bringing incessant rains to a wide area of north India and Bangladesh since June.
