| Leh region is a cold desert because |
| 1. It is out of reach of the monsoon winds as it is surrounded by lofty mountains. |
| 2. Monsoon winds dry up by the time they reach Leh region. |
A) Only 1 is correct
B) Only 2 is correct
C) Both 1 and 2 are correct
D) Neither 1 nor 2 is correct
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The Leh region is located far away from the sea and is surrounded by lofty mountains from all sides. Therefore this region is almost out of reach of the monsoon winds. Whatever little monsoons reach there they dry up by the time they reach there because they have lost much of their moisture for causing rainfall in areas falling in their way.
