MY RESEARCH ON RAJASTHAN
Why does Rajasthan have deserts?
Rajasthan has the Thar Desert because it gets very little rainfall. The Aravalli mountains run parallel to the monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea, so they don’t stop the winds from making it rain. As a result, the area stays dry. The soil is sandy, and there’s not much vegetation, so whatever little rain falls evaporates quickly, making the land dry and desert-like.
Why is Rajasthan so hot?
Rajasthan is near the Tropic of Cancer, so it gets strong, direct sunlight for most of the year. The skies are usually clear, so the sun’s heat directly reaches the ground. The dry air and sand heat up fast during the day, making temperatures rise above 45°C in summer. At night, it cools down quickly because there’s no moisture to hold the heat.
So, low rainfall, dry soil, clear skies, and strong sun make Rajasthan both a hot and a desert region.
