Read the given characteristic features of the Indian Desert. Which statement is NOT correct about the Indian Desert?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. It receives 500 mm rainfall per year.

  • The statement "It receives 500 mm rainfall per year" is NOT correct about the Indian Desert.
  • The Indian Desert, also known as the Thar Desert, is known for its arid and dry conditions, and it receives very little rainfall.
  • The average annual rainfall in the Thar Desert is generally much lower than 500 mm, making it a desert region characterized by scarcity of water and arid landscapes.
  • The other statements are accurate: it has sand dunes, it lies northwest of the Aravalli hills, and it is also known as Marusthali.
