Which place receives the highest rainfall in the world?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is: (B) Mawsynram

• Mawsynram, located in the state of Meghalaya, India, holds the record for the highest annual rainfall in the world.
• It receives an average of about 11,871 millimeters (467.4 inches) of rainfall annually.
• This extreme rainfall is due to its location on the windward side of the Khasi Hills, where moist air from the Bay of Bengal is forced to rise, leading to heavy precipitation.

Explanation booster:

•  Tura Peak: Tura Peak is located in the Garo Hills of Meghalaya, but it does not receive the highest rainfall in the world. While it does get considerable rainfall, it is not as much as Mawsynram.
•  Kangto: Kangto is a peak located in Arunachal Pradesh, India. Although it is a significant geographical feature, it does not receive the highest rainfall globally. The rainfall in this area is less compared to Mawsynram.
• Dhupgarh: Dhupgarh is the highest peak in Madhya Pradesh, India, and while it may receive rainfall, it does not receive the highest rainfall in the world. Mawsynram holds that record.
