Solution

Barren land refers to areas of land that are unproductive and not suitable for cultivation or human habitation. These lands usually lack fertility, moisture, and vegetation and may be affected by factors such as rocky surfaces, desert conditions, extreme salinity, or erosion.

Examples of barren land include deserts, rocky hills, salt flats, and areas with infertile soil. In India, parts of Rajasthan and Ladakh are considered barren due to their harsh climatic and soil conditions.
