Which region has low rainfall but cold desert conditions, not hot desert conditions?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ladakh

The main idea is that low rainfall does not always create a hot desert. Temperature also depends on altitude and location. Ladakh is a high, mountainous region, so its climate is very cold even though it receives little precipitation. This makes it a cold desert, unlike the hot deserts of lower and warmer regions.

Ladakh lies in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, where mountains block much of the moisture-bearing monsoon winds. Its great elevation keeps temperatures low, and the dry conditions limit vegetation. Western Rajasthan and Kachchh are associated with hot, dry desert conditions, while southern Deccan is not the best example of a cold desert. Therefore, option B is correct.
