Statement I: Variability of annual rainfall is very high in the western part of Rajasthan. Statement II: Average annual rainfall is extremely low in western Rajasthan. Correct Answer Both the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I

The correct answer is Both the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.

  • Spatial distribution of rainfall (Rajasthan):
    • The climate of Rajasthan state has varied contrasts and the presence of Aravallis is the greatest influencing factor.
    • The state can broadly be divided into Arid, Semi-Arid, and Sub-Humid Regions, on the basis of rainfall intensities.
    • The western coast of India receives heavy rainfall, but Western Rajasthan receives an average rainfall of less than 60 cm per year. Hence, Statement II is correct.
    • The Western Rajasthan i.e. in the arid region consists of the districts of Hanumangarh, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Ganganagar, Churu, Jhunjhunu, Sikar, Nagaur, Jodhpur, Pali, and Jalore.
    • The Western Rajasthan is characterized by low and highly variable rainfall throughout the years creating an inhospitable living condition for both human and livestock populations. Hence, Statement I is correct.
