The Thar Desert, also known as the Great Indian Desert, is a large arid region in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinentthat covers an area of 200,000 km2(77,000 sq mi) and forms a natural boundary between India and Pakistan. It is the world's18th largest desert, and the world's 9th largest subtropical desert.
About 75% of the Thar Desert is located within India, with the remaining 25% in Pakistan.[1] In India, it covers about 150,000 km2(58,000 sq mi), and the remaining 50,000 km2(19,000 sq mi) of the desert is within Pakistan. The Thar desert forms approximately 10% of the total geographic area of India. More than 60% of the desert lies in the state of Rajasthan, and extends intoGujarat, Punjab, and Haryana.[2] The desert comprises a very dry part, the Marusthali region in the west, and a semidesert region in the east with fewer sand dunes and slightly more precipitation.[3]
The Thar Desert extends between the Aravalli Hills in the north-east,[1] the Great Rann of Kutch along the coast and the alluvial plains of the Indus River in the west and north-west. Most of the desert is covered by huge shifting sand dunes that receive sediments from the alluvial plains and the coast. The sand is highly mobile due to strong winds occurring before the onset of the monsoon. The Luni River is the only river integrated into the desert.[4] Rainfall is limited to 100–500 mm (3.9–19.7 in) per year, mostly falling from July to September.[1]
Salt water lakes within the Thar Desert include the Sambhar, Kuchaman, Didwana in Rajasthan and Kharaghoda in Gujarat. These lakes receive and collect rain water during monsoon and evaporate during the dry season. The salt is derived by the weathering of rocks in the region.[5]
Lithic tools belonging to the prehistoricAterian culture of the Maghreb have been discovered in Middle Paleolithic deposits in the Thar Desert.[6]
