The dryness of the Ladakh Plateau is mainly linked with what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: High altitude and rain-shadow location

The governing concept is the rain-shadow effect combined with high altitude. Ladakh lies beyond the main Himalayan ranges from the path of moisture-bearing monsoon winds. Much of the moisture is released on the windward slopes before the air reaches Ladakh, so the plateau receives little precipitation. Its great elevation also produces a cold, thin, dry environment, and evaporation and vegetation remain limited. Therefore option A correctly combines the two important causes. Option B is the opposite of Ladakh’s inland setting, while option C describes a warm, waterlogged tropical environment. Option D is incorrect because Ladakh is a high mountain plateau, not a low marine plain. These physical controls explain why it is commonly called a cold desert.
