What is the natural feature of the high plateau of Ladakh?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cold and dry high desert

The governing concept is the relationship between altitude, mountain barriers, and desert climate. Ladakh is a high plateau in the Trans-Himalayan region, situated in the rain-shadow zone of the Himalayas. The surrounding high ranges block much of the moisture-bearing monsoon winds, while the great altitude produces very low temperatures, especially in winter. As a result, Ladakh has a cold, dry high-desert environment, so option A is correct. Option B describes a humid coastal wetland, but Ladakh is landlocked and elevated. Option C refers to warm, wet lowland vegetation, which is unsuitable for its arid climate. Option D is a marine landform and cannot occur on this inland plateau.
