Question

Name the driest parts of India. Why is it so?

Answer 1

• The driest parts of India are the Thar Desert in Rajasthan and parts of Gujarat.
• These areas are dry due to their arid climate, low rainfall, and high evaporation rates. The desert's location in the rain shadow of the Aravalli Hills and its distance from moisture-bearing winds contribute to minimal rainfall, making it one of the driest regions in India.
