fourth-largest state in India by area. Tamil
Nadu has a total area of about 130,060
size difference: square kilometres, making it the eleventh-

 India by area.
Location: West Bengal is
located in the eastern part of
India, bordering Bangladesh,
Nepal, Bhutan, and the
Indian states of Bihar,
location: Jharkhand, Sikkim, and
Assam1. Tamil Nadu is
located in the southern part
of India, bordering the Bay of
Bengal, the Indian Ocean,
and the Indian states of
Kerala, Karnataka, and
Andhra Pradesh
Terrain: West Bengal has a diverse
terrain, ranging from the
Himalayan mountains in the
north, the Gangetic plains in the
centre, and the coastal delta in the
south. The state is home to the
Sundarbans, the world’s largest
mangrove forest and a UNESCO
World Heritage Site. Tamil Nadu
has a mostly flat terrain, with the :Terrain
Western Ghats and the Eastern
Ghats forming the major hill
ranges in the west and the east
respectively. The state also has the
Nilgiri Hills, where the two ranges
meet and form the highest point in
the state
 Tamil Nadu is heavily dependent on monsoon
Climate : rains, and thereby is prone to droughts when the
monsoons fail. The climate of the state ranges
from wet rainforests to semi-arid. Tamil Nadu
agriculture is a gambling of monsoon. The state
has distinct periods of rainfall, which are the
advancing monsoon period, South-west monsoon
(from June to September) with strong southwest
winds, the North-east monsoon (from October to
December), with dominant northeast winds, and
the Dry season (from January to May). The normal
annual rainfall of the state is about 945 mm (37.2
in),[4] of which 48% is through the North East
monsoon, and 32% through the South West
monsoon. Since the state is entirely dependent on
rains for recharging its water resources, monsoon
failures lead to acute water scarcity and severe
drought
