Which of the statement(s) given is/are correct?
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
A desert is a barren area of land where little precipitation occurs and consequently, living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life.
The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation. About one-third of the land surface of the world is arid or semi-arid.
This includes much of the Polar Regions where little precipitation occurs and which are sometimes called polar deserts or “cold deserts”. The Sahara desert is the largest single stretch desert in the world and after that Great Australian Desert.
