Question

WHY IS THAR DESSERT IMPORTANT

Answer 1

Answer:

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU

Explanation:

India as a country has natural borders

The himalayas shield us from the north, the great ocean from the south and not to forget the THAR Desert from the west.

The Thar desert has its own significance, in the present scenario it acts as a barrier between us and pakistan. Any illegal pakistani infiltrators have to wade through the scorching desert which is very less likely.

Also the desert was used as a testing ground for India's earlier nuclear missiles (now Bay of Bengal)

It has the same significance as how the russians use their landscape to defeat enemies. There is always this saying 'Do not attack russia in winter'. You will die of frostbite or starve to death. This was a familiar tactic used in the 2nd world war.

Same way our Border Security Force(BSF) along rajasthan is more experienced than anyone else on how to use the desert as a strategic location to avoid infiltration. The BSF force along rajasthan uses camels as their mode of transport. They are a familiar sight at the republic parade.

Answer 2

Answer:

Despite having an extreme climate, the Thar Desert can provide development opportunities. These include:

• Mining - the desert has valuable reserves of minerals such as feldspar, phospherite, gypsum and kaolin. These minerals are used to produce a range of things from cement to fertilisers and are therefore valuable.
• Energy generation - energy is produced in the Thar Desert using solar panels. This energy is used to clean water supplies contaminated with salt (desalination). Wind energy is also used to generate electricity.
• Farming - irrigation in the Thar Desert has made commercial arable farming viable. Producing crops such as wheat and cotton has created many jobs and generated income for the local economy.
• Tourism - the Thar Desert National Park attracts many visitors who want to see some of the 120 species found there. Tourists explore the desert with local guides on camels. Tourism is an important source of income and creates many jobs for local people. The multiplier effect of tourism creates many development opportunities.
