Question

What is the difference between the "female rain" and the "male rain"? What are the effects of each type of rain on the desert,and why is this difference significant?

Answer 1

Female rains: light, drizzle rain, occur during the winter

Male rains: loud thunderstorms, occur in late summers

Step-by-step explanation:

Male rains refers to thunder storms with torrential rain. In the desert, male rains are asociated with the violent seasonal summer storms, known as "monsoon season." Heavy summer monsoons can cause great damage to the land, but it also brings the area back to life: creeks run again, flowers and plants start to bloom thanks to the water, and animals start to breed.

Female rains occur during winter. The light rains allow for the floura and fauna to grow and mature.
