Question

The presence of salt particles deposited by the Southwest Monsoon in the Rann of Kachchh contributes to which type of soil?

• A. Black Soil
• B. Arid Soil
• C. Saline Soil
• D. Red Soil

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Saline Soil

• Correct Answer: Option C - Saline Soil

• The Rann of Kachchh is a large salt marsh located in the Thar Desert in the Kachchh district of Gujarat, India. This region is characterized by its unique geographical features and soil composition. The Southwest Monsoon plays a significant role in the formation of soil in this area.

• When the Southwest Monsoon brings rainfall to this region, it deposits salt particles across the Rann of Kachchh. As the water evaporates due to the high temperatures in this arid region, the salt particles remain behind, leading to the accumulation of salt in the soil. This continuous deposition of salt and subsequent evaporation of water results in the formation of saline soil.
