The cold dry character of Ladakh Plateau is more linked with which two factors?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Altitude and rain shadow

The governing concept is the effect of altitude and rain-shadow conditions on climate. Ladakh is a high plateau in the Trans-Himalayan region, so its air temperature remains low because temperature generally decreases with increasing elevation. At the same time, the high mountain ranges block much of the moisture-bearing monsoon winds, placing Ladakh in a rain-shadow zone. Limited precipitation, clear skies, and very cold winters together produce its cold-desert character. Therefore, option C is correct. Marine humidity and coastal plains describe lowland maritime settings, coral reefs and lagoons are marine landforms, and black soil with cotton is an agricultural association rather than a climatic explanation.
