Solution

A dry, cracked soil under a clear sky depicts serious environmental suffering in a drought-affected region of India. This occurrence arises as a result of unpredictable monsoon patterns, extended dry weather, and severe summer temperatures that fully deplete soil moisture and dry up subsurface aquifers. Such situations are prevalent in India's rain-shadow zones, which include sections of Marathwada, Vidarbha, and western Rajasthan, where the topography blocks moisture-laden winds. The cracked, parched earth leaves the area completely unsuited for cultivation, putting agriculture at risk, damaging farmer incomes, and causing severe water scarcity, all of which have a negative influence on human and animal existence.
