6 0

Answer:

The height of the mountain ranges in Ladakh region prevent the cold desert from the crossing of the clouds, that's why there is low rainfall in Ladakh.

Explanation:

The Indian cold desert Ladakh is situated at high elevation. The desert is surrounded by the heights of mountain ranges. The area has very less humidity and the desert is marked by extreme aridity. The great Karakoram ranges, Himalayan mountains and Zanskar ranges are preventing the cloud crossing from the area. This is the major cause of less rainfall in Ladakh region. The desert recieves only 2 inches annually which is very low and cause scarcity of water in the area and among locals. The desert is situated at a great height covered with supreme mountains, this cause extreme cold in the region and low rainfall.

What line is at 2322 S?
kenny6666 [7]

<u>Tropic of Cancer </u>is the line of latitude at 23.22 S

Explanation:

This is the southernmost, of the equator latitude at which the sun can appear overhead. Equivalent to this latitude to the north of the equator is the <u>Tropic of Cancer</u>. Higher latitudes never really have overhead sun. The sun is overhead the <u>Tropic of Capricorn</u> on 21st December.

As the earth revolves around the sun, the sun shifts positions – relative to the latitudes-, due to the shift of orientation of the earth with respect to the sun. The sun is overhead the tropic of cancer on 21st June and is overhead the equator on 20th March and 22nd September.
