SSC CGL - 20 July 2023 - Shift 2 • General Awareness • Q44

Where does the Bay of Bengal Monsoon Branch and Arabian Sea Branch merge?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. North Western Part of Ganga Plains.

The Bay of Bengal Monsoon Branch and the Arabian Sea Branch typically merge over the Indian subcontinent, particularly over the central and northern regions of India. This merging typically occurs during the Indian summer monsoon season, which lasts from June to September.

The combined moisture-laden winds from both branches converge over the Indian landmass, resulting in widespread rainfall across the region. The exact location of the merger can vary depending on various factors such as topography, atmospheric conditions, and the progression of the monsoon system in a particular year.
