    Solution

    Western dry region extends over Rajasthan, West of the Aravallis and has an erratic rainfall of an annual average of less than 25 cm. The desert climate further causes high evaporation and contrasting temperatures—28 °C to 45 °C in June and 5 °C to 22 °C in January. Bajra, jowar and moth are main crops of kharif and wheat and gram in rabi. Livestock contributes greatly in desert ecology.
