Geography
1 answer:
aleksklad [387]3 years ago
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.

Much of Alaska is covered by
bija089 [108]

Answer:

the Alaska Range and the Brooks Range

Explanation:

Alaska is a federal state in the United States. It is actually the largest state of this country, and it is also the northernmost state. All of Alaska lies on very high latitude, thus it has very cold climate for much of the year.

Big portion of the landscape of Alaska is covered by two mountain ranges. These mountain ranges are the Alaska Range and the Brooks Range. Both ranges have a roughly west to east direction.

The Alaska range is located in the southern and southeastern part of Alaska. It alleviates immediately from the coastline. It separates this part of the country and the lowlands of the interior.

The Brooks Range is located between the central part of the state and the norther part of the state, being a natural boundary between the two parts. This range lifts high up between the lowlands in the interior, and the lowlands in the northern part of the state.
