(1+2+2=5)
The Indian Desert: The Indian desert lies towards the western margins of the Aravali Hills. It is an
undulating sandy plain covered with sand dunes. This region receives very low rainfall below 150
mm per year. It has an arid climate with low vegetation cover. Streams appear during the rainy
season. Soon after they disappear into the sand as they do not have enough water to reach the sea.
Luni is the only large river in this region. Barchans cover larger areas but longitudinal dunes
become more prominent near the Indo-Pakistan boundary.
The Coastal Plains: The Peninsular plateau is flanked by a stretch of narrow coastal strips,
running along the Arabian Sea on the west and the Bay of Bengal on the east. The western coast,
sandwiched between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, is a narrow plain. It consists of three
sections. The northern part of the coast is called the Konkan (Mumbai - Goa), the central stretch is
called the Kannad Plain while the southern stretch is referred to as the Malabar coast.
Questions:
i. Where is the western coast located?
ii. What are crescent-shaped dunes called? Where are they found?
iii. List out the division of western coastal plains.
