Hey Mhar, there is an error in your PPT, i.e., Slide number 9. Cherrapunjee is in India, not in Colombia. It is a town in the East Khasi Hills district in the Indian state of Meghalaya. Cherrapunjee is credited as being the wettest place on Earth, although nearby Mawsynram currently receives more rainfall.
Cherrapunjee: The Wettest Place on Earth
Cherrapunjee is the traditional capital of a hima (Khasi tribal chieftainship constituting a petty state) known as Sohra or Churra. It receives rains from the Bay of Bengal arm of the Indian Summer Monsoon. The monsoon clouds travel unimpeded over the plains of Bangladesh for about 400 km. Then, they encounter the Khasi Hills that suddenly rise out of the plains, reaching a height of about 1370 m above mean sea level within 2 to 5 km. The geography of the hills, with numerous deep valleys, directs the low-flying (150-300 m) moisture-laden clouds from a wide area to converge over Cherrapunjee.
