    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.
