Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A 10 cm
Ladakh is a
cold desert & is situated on a high altitude. The southwest monsoons bring
no rain to this district. The type of weather of the Ladakh desert is enormously
cold and dry due to its high height which varies from about 3,000 m in Kargil
to more than 8,000 m in the Karakoram. The air at this elevation is so thin that
the heat of the sun can be felt intensely. Winters are extremely cold with
temperatures below -40 C most of the time. There is very little rainfall in this
region. It is as low as 10 cm every year. The area experiences freezing winds
and fire hot sunlight. There is always a chance of lack of moisture and
frostbite at the same time
