Question

“Droughts are most frequent in areas of marginal rainfall and high variability of rainfall.” Illustrate the statement with suitable examples.

Answer 1

Droughts happen more often in areas where rainfall is low and keeps changing from year to year. For example, Rajasthan and parts of Gujarat get very little rain, and sometimes they get no rain at all. In such places, people can’t depend on rain for farming, so they face droughts frequently.
