Detailed explanation-1: -The Aravallis system lies winds parallel to the direction of S.W. monsoon winds coming from Arabian Sea. So this mountain system is unable to check these winds and hence, western Rajasthan is practically dry. The southern parts get some rainfall. (ii) This area lies at a great distance from the Bay of Bengal.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Western part of Rajasthan is a desert because the temperature remains very high in summer and the Aravallis lie parallel to the path of the Arabian Sea branch of the southwest monsoons, thereby causing no orographic rainfall. Southwest monsoon winds lose moisture when it reaches Aravali hills.
Detailed explanation-3: -This is because South west monsoon arising from Bay of Bengal flows parallel to the Aravalli Mountains and reach north east part of India.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Aravalli Range is a northeast–southwest trending orogenic belt located in the northwestern part of Indian Peninsula. It is part of the Indian Shield that formed from a series of cratonic collisions.
