Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cherrapunji, the Wettest place on Earth holds many world records for the highest recorded rainfall in history.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why is Cherrapunji India the wettest place on Earth? The reason for heavy rainfall in Cherrapunji is quite complex to understand, but essentially, it’s the monsoon clouds that form over the Bay of Bengal that flyover relatively flat terrains until they reach Cherrapunji.
Detailed explanation-3: -The geography of the hills with many deep valley channels encompassing the low-flying (150–300 m) moisture-laden clouds from a wide area converges over Sohra. The winds push the rain clouds through these gorges and up the steep slopes.
