Which Indian region can be called dry in terms of rainfall?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Thar Desert

The direct answer is C: the Thar Desert is a dry region because it receives very little rainfall. A dry or arid region has low precipitation, high evaporation and limited natural water. The Thar lies mainly in north-western India, especially Rajasthan. The Aravalli range runs in a direction that does not effectively force the monsoon winds to rise over much of the desert, and the region is also far from major moisture sources. Therefore rainfall is low and desert conditions develop. Option C is correct because the Thar is India’s best-known hot desert and is associated with scanty rainfall. Option A is wrong because the Assam Valley receives heavy monsoon rainfall. Option B is wrong because the Malabar Coast receives substantial rainfall from the south-west monsoon. Option D is wrong because the Meghalaya Plateau, including areas near Mawsynram and Cherrapunji, is famous for extremely heavy rainfall. Do not choose a place merely because it is a plateau or valley; compare its actual rainfall. Memory cue: Thar means hot, dry and low-rainfall.
