Question

Describe the Indian desert

Answer 1

There are high and low sand dunes separated by sandy plains and low barren hills which rise abruptly from the surrounding plains. The dunes are in continual motion and take on varying shapes and sizes. Older dunes are in a semistabilized or stabilized condition, and many rise to a height of almost 500 feet. Several saline lake beds are scattered through out the region.

Answer 2

The Indian Desert

→It lies towards the western margins of the Aravali Hills.

→This region gets scanty rainfall which is less than 150 mm in a year. Hence, the climate is arid and vegetation is scanty.

The Thar Desert :-

• The Thar desert extends across Gujarat, Haryana and Punjab; and covers more than 60% of the geographical area of Rajasthan. The region is also called as ‘MARUSTHALI’.

• Luni is the seasonal river and gets very little rainfall.

• It has an arid climate and vegetation is sparse.

• Ghaggar flows through Rajasthan and disappears at the heart of the Thar desert.
