A PowerPoint presentation on the great Indian Desert covering its full features. It is developed with the help of my group members. Its in total 10 slides
Its a powerpoint on Indian Desert/ Thar desert
The Great Indian Desert, also known as the Thar Desert, spans parts of northwest India and eastern Pakistan. It is characterized by large sand dunes and receives little rainfall. Wildlife such as blackbucks have adapted to the harsh desert conditions. Agriculture is the main occupation where water is available, though many nomadic herders also live in the desert, moving their flocks in search of grass and water. The Indian government has implemented irrigation projects like the Indira Gandhi Canal to bring water from other regions and increase agriculture in parts of the desert.
The coastal plains of India are flat low-lying lands located between mountain ranges and bodies of water. The western coastal plains are narrower, between 50-80 km wide, located between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. The eastern coastal plains are wider, between 100-130 km wide, located between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal. Both coastal plains are characterized by rivers flowing from the mountain ranges that form estuaries and deltas where they empty into the sea.

India is home to an extraordinary variety of climatic regions, ranging from tropical in the south to temperate in the Himalayan north, where elevated regions receive sustained winter snowfall. The nation's climate is strongly influenced by the Himalayas and The Thar Desert.Though the Tropic of Cancer—the boundary between the tropics and subtropics—passes through the middle of India, the bulk of the country can be regarded as climatically tropical.
The document discusses the Peninsular Plateau of India. It is located south of the Northern Plains and was formed by the breaking of the Gondwana landmass, making it one of India's oldest landforms. The plateau consists of the Central Highlands in the north and the Deccan Plateau further south. The Central Highlands include regions like the Malwa, Bundelkhand, Baghelkhand and Chotanagpur plateaus. The Deccan Plateau is bounded by the Western and Eastern Ghats and contains the Deccan Traps in the northwest. The plateau is rich in minerals and supports agriculture.
India belongs to the tropical monsoon climate zone. Since the Indian subcontinent is separated from the rest of Asia by the lofty Himalayan ranges, they block the cold air masses moving southwards from Central Asia. The climatic conditions of India are highlighted in this module.

India has two main island groups: the Lakshadweep Islands and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The Lakshadweep Islands are located in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Kerala, consisting of 36 coral islands of which 10 are inhabited. The Andaman & Nicobar Islands are located in the Bay of Bengal near Myanmar, comprising 572 islands of which 38 are permanently inhabited, with the Andamans containing 550 islands and Nicobars 22 islands. These island groups provide economic and strategic importance for India in areas like tourism, security, trade and control of the Indian Ocean.
India has a great diversity of natural vegetation due to its varied climate and terrain. The types of natural vegetation include tropical evergreen forests, tropical deciduous forests, thorn forests and scrubs, mangrove forests, and montane forests. The characteristics of each forest type are determined by factors like temperature, precipitation, and soil type. Forests provide important ecosystem services such as modifying the climate, preventing soil erosion, and supporting wildlife. However, much of India's natural vegetation has been degraded or replaced due to human activities like agriculture, industry, and grazing.

It notes that the Central Highlands region lies to the north of the Vindhya Range and includes areas like the Malwa Plateau, Bundelkhand, and Chota Nagpur Plateau. The document also provides brief descriptions of the Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats, which form the edges of the Deccan Plateau.
This document summarizes the climate of India, focusing on the tropical monsoon climate and seasonal variations. It discusses key factors like the Indian monsoon winds which are influenced by differential heating/cooling of land and sea and the movement of pressure systems. India experiences a hot summer season from March to May with high temperatures, a rainy season from June to September brought by the southwest monsoons, and a mild winter season from November to February in the north with variable winds and occasional rainfall. The climate varies significantly by region due to factors like latitude, altitude, proximity to oceans, and monsoon patterns.
India has a variety of landforms created by geological processes over time. It has mountains, plains, deserts, and plateaus formed during different geological periods. India's relief has also been modified by weathering, erosion, and deposition. The Himalayas were formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates over millions of years, which caused the sediments of the former Tethys Sea to fold and uplift into mountains. The northern plains were formed by deposits of the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra river systems and their tributaries. The Peninsular Plateau in southern India was formed from the oldest rock of the former Gondwana land and is divided into
The document summarizes the key physical features of India. It describes the six main physiographic divisions: 1) The Himalayan Mountains, which contain the highest peaks in the world like Everest; 2) The Northern Plains; 3) The Peninsular Plateau, divided into the Central Highlands and Deccan Plateau; 4) The Indian Desert; 5) The Coastal Plains along the eastern and western coasts; and 6) The Islands off the coasts. It provides details about the characteristics of each division, such as the three ranges that make up the Himalayas and the rivers that flow through the Northern Plains.
Settlement patterns refer to how buildings are distributed in rural areas. There are several types of patterns: isolated (individual buildings far apart), clustered (buildings around a central location), dispersed (buildings spread over a wide area), nucleated (buildings grouped closely together), linear (buildings along geographical features like roads or rivers), and planned settlements (intentionally designed layouts). Factors that influence patterns include resources, terrain, climate, transportation, and social/economic considerations.

The northern plain of India is formed by the interplay of three major rivers - the Ganga, Indus, and Brahmaputra. During the Tertiary period, a sea called Tethys extended north and west. Due to the movement of tectonic plates, the Indian plate underthrust the Eurasian plate, causing folding of marine sediments from compressive forces. This created the Himalayas and left the northern plain as a foredeep filled with sediments eroded from the mountains. The three dominant rivers continue depositing alluvial soil, making the plain one of the most fertile regions and important agricultural areas in India.

Swamp forest, Sylhet, Mangrove Forest, Ratargul forest, mangrove species, Swamp Forest definition, Types of Swamp Forest, Bangladesh wetlands vegetation. The Ratargul Swamp Forest, located in the Gowainghat area of Sylhet, is the only freshwater swamp forest in Bangladesh123. This unique ecosystem is naturally conserved under the Department of Forestry, Government of Bangladesh13.
The forest spans an area of 3,325.61 acres, including 504 acres declared as an animal sanctuary in 20151. It’s often referred to as the “Sundarbans of Sylhet” due to its rich biodiversity and unique landscape14.
The forest’s name comes from the word “Rata” or “Pati” tree, used by the locals of Sylhet14. The evergreen forest is situated by the river Goain and linked with the channel Chengir Khal14. Most of the trees growing here are the Dalbergia reniformis (করচ গাছ Koroch tree)1.
During the rainy season, the forest is submerged under 20–30 ft (6.1–9.1 m) water1. For the rest of the year, the water level is about 10 ft (3.0 m) deep1. The forest is flooded by water coming from the hills of India only in the monsoon period and makes a swamp2. Other times, it remains dry2.
The water level never remains at the same level in this forest. It depends on the number of rainfalls. The water level could be 15-20 feet in the forest on the time of heavy rainfall2. The main trees of this forest are zigzag-style Koroch and Hizal tree. The root of these trees is in two-level. One in the ground, and another in the mid-level which is used while the forest is flooded in the monsoon time2.
Among wildlife, monkeys, snakes, frogs, and many types of birds are seen here2. Four months in the monsoon period is considered as the best time to explore this forest2. You can hire a local wooden boat and spend a whole day wandering and relaxing in this beautiful green mystery2.
The Ratargul Swamp Forest is not just a place of natural beauty but also a testament to nature’s resilience and adaptability. It’s a living reminder that even in conditions that may seem inhospitable to us, life finds a way to thrive and flourish.
The Sahara desert is the largest hot desert in the world, covering around 8.5 million square kilometers across 11 countries in North Africa. It has an extremely hot and dry climate with some of the highest recorded temperatures on Earth. While the Sahara was once a fertile region, over thousands of years natural forces and human activities have converted it into a largely barren wasteland of sand that is unsuitable for most plant growth except for some hardy species like cacti and acacia. A few oases located among the desert support settled populations that farm dates and engage in herding and trade.
The document provides an overview of the geography of Africa, describing its major physical features and how they affect life on the continent. It notes that Africa can be divided into 5 regions - North, West, East, Central and Southern. The Sahara desert spans North Africa, while other key physical elements include the Sahel grasslands, African savannas, tropical rainforests, and the Great Rift Valley. Major rivers like the Nile, Congo and Niger are also discussed. Climate and vegetation vary widely by region due to geography. Natural resources play an important role in African economies.

The French Revolution began in 1789 as the Estates General met to increase taxes for the old regime but ended in revolt. This led to the Reign of Terror and overthrow of the monarchy. Eventually Napoleon came to power after the revolution transformed France's political and social structure.
There is a tremendous amount of news being disseminated every day online about dangerous forever chemicals called PFAS. In this interview with a global PFAS testing expert, Geraint Williams of ALS, he and York Analytical President Michael Beckerich discuss the hot-button issues for the environmental engineering and consulting industry -- the wider range of PFAS contamination sites, new PFAS that are unregulated, and the compliance challenges ahead.
Widespread PFAS contamination requires stringent sampling and laboratory analyses by certified laboratories only -- whether it is for PFAS in soil, groundwater, wastewater or drinking water.

2. Indian Desert- Size and Location
• Thar Desert, also called great Indian desert ,
located on the Indian subcontinent. It is
bounded by Aravali range in east and located
partly in Rajasthan state, northwestern India,
and partly in Punjab and Sindh (Sind) provinces,
eastern Pakistan
• The desert stretches its area of 238,254 km²
(77,000 sq mi).
• It is considered to be the 20th largest desert and
9th largest subtropical desert of the world.
• 27.4695° N, 70.6217° E (Coordinates of the
centre of the desert)
3. Physical Features of Indian Desert
• The Indian desert lies on the western edge of the
hills of Aravalli.
• It is an undulating sandy plain surrounded by
dunes of sand.
• Very low rainfall, below 150 mm per year, occurs in
this area. With poor vegetation cover, it has an
arid atmosphere.
• During the rainy season, streams emerge. They
vanish into the sand shortly after, as they do not
have enough water.
• Barchans (crescent-shaped dunes) cover larger
areas, but along the Indo
• Pakistan border, longitudinal dunes are becoming
more prevalent.
Barchans
4. Drainage in Indian desert
• There is one and only one river in thar Desert. That is
‘Luni’.
• The Luni is the largest river in the Thar Desert of
northwest India. It originates in the Pushkar valley of
the Aravalli Range, near Ajmer, passes through the
southeastern portion of the Thar Desert, and ends in
the marshy lands of Rann of Kutch in Gujarat, after
travelling a distance of 495 kilometres.
• It is hot, so streams appear only in rainy seasons ans
soon after, they disappear.
• Indra Gandi Canal is drawn from satluj to the desert
for peoples.
• Chambal (drains in Yamuna) is divided by Indian
Desert by Aravali Range.
• Dry rivers beds found here. Like of Ghaggar.
Rann of Kutch
5. Climate
• he amount of annual rainfall in the desert is generally low, ranging from about 4
inches (100 mm) or less in the west to about 20 inches (500 mm) in the
east. Precipitation amounts fluctuate widely from year to year. About 90 percent of
the total annual rainfall occurs during the season of the southwest monsoon, from
July to September (see also Indian monsoon). During other seasons the prevailing
wind is the dry northeast monsoon. May and June are the hottest months of the
year, with temperatures rising to 122 °F (50 °C). During January, the coldest month,
the mean minimum temperature ranges between 41 and 50 °F (5 and 10 °C), and
frost is frequent. Dust storms and dust-raising winds, often blowing
with velocities of 87 to 93 miles (140 to 150 km) per hour, are common in May and
June
• It has a hot arid climate with unfertile sand. It has extreme climate.
• It is very hot in day and very cold in night.
• Due to high temperature, pressure is high in this area.
6. Natural vegetation and wildlife
• The desert vegetation is mostly herbaceous or stunted
scrub; drought-resistant trees occasionally dot the
landscape, especially in the east. On the hills, gum
arabic acacia and euphorbia may be found.
The khajri (or khejri) tree (Prosopis cineraria) grows
throughout the plains.
• The thickly
populated grasslands support blackbucks, chikara (gazelles),
and some feathered game, notably francolins (partridges)
and quail. Among the migratory birds, sand grouse, ducks,
and geese are common. The desert is also the home of the
endangered great bustard.
• The ship of the desert ‘camel’ found here useful for travel,
milk, fibre and has a great significance.
7. POPULATION (about peoples)
• Most of the desert’s inhabitants reside in rural areas and are
distributed in varying densities. Both Islam and Hinduism are
practiced, and the population is divided into complex economic and
social groups. The prevailing languages are Sindhi in the
southwest, Lahnda in the northwest, and Rajasthani languages—
especially Marwari—in central and eastern portions of the Thar. The
ethnic composition of the Thar is diverse. Among the most
prominent groups are the Rajputs, who inhabit the central Thar.
Many nomads are engaged in animal husbandry, crafts, or trade. In
general, the nomads are symbiotically related to the sedentary
population and its economy.
• The Thar desert has a fairly high population density of 83 persons
per square km. Overall, it has a total population of 16,600,000.
8. Importance of Thar Desert
• India has its natural borders. The himalayas shield us from the north, the great ocean from the
south and not to forget the THAR Desert from the west.
• The Thar desert has its own significance, in the present scenario it acts as a barrier between us and
pakistan. Any illegal pakistani infiltrators have to wade through the scorching desert which is very
less likely.
• Also the desert was used as a testing ground for India's earlier nuclear missiles (now Bay of Bengal)
• Same way our Border Security Force(BSF) along rajasthan is more experienced than anyone else on
how to use the desert as a strategic location to avoid infiltration. The BSF force along rajasthan uses
camels as their mode of transport. They are a familiar sight at the republic parade.
• Our Thar desert has following benefits
Security wise ,it is difficult to enter terrorists through desert
We used desert to test nuclear bombs
We used them to generate solar energy now,which develop great energy source
Different ethnicity because of desert.
Desert useful for different research purposes
Beneath our desert we have a oldest civilisation.
