Detailed explanation-1: -The climate is wet and highly seasonal. Moisture-laden southwest monsoon winds sweep in from the coast, are intercepted by the mountains and driven upwards, squeezing the moisture out of the rising, cooling air; a phenomenon known as orographic precipitation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical Rain Forests are found in warm and humid areas with annual precipitation of over 200 cm and mean annual temperature above 22 degrees celsius. They are so dense that sunlight doesn’t reach the ground. Many species of trees are found in these forests, which shed their leaves at different times of the year.
Detailed explanation-3: -The South Western Ghats montane rain forests is an ecoregion in South India, covering the southern portion of the Western Ghats in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu at elevations from 1, 000 to 2, 695 m (3, 281 to 8, 842 ft). Annual rainfall in this ecoregion exceeds 2, 800 mm (110 in).
