#1. Consider the following statements:
(1) Atacama is a coastal desert.
(2) Rub-el-Khali is a cold desert.
(3) Sahara desert annually receives more than 50 cm of rainfall.
(4) Cold deserts generally have 2–25°C annual temperature.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement (1) is correct. The Atacama Desert, located in northern Chile along the Pacific coast, is classified as a coastal desert. It is one of the driest places on Earth, receiving extremely low precipitation due to the cold Humboldt Current and rain shadow effects.
Statement (2) is incorrect. Rub’ al Khali, also known as the Empty Quarter, is located on the Arabian Peninsula and is a hot desert, not a cold one. It experiences extremely high temperatures and arid conditions, with sand dunes and scarce vegetation.
Statement (3) is incorrect. The Sahara Desert, being a hot desert, typically receives less than 25 cm (250 mm) of rainfall annually. Therefore, the claim that it receives more than 50 cm is factually wrong.
Statement (4) is correct. Cold deserts, such as the Gobi or Great Basin deserts, generally have annual temperatures ranging from 2°C to 25°C, with cold winters and relatively warm summers. This temperature range helps distinguish them from hot deserts.
Hence, only statements (1) and (4) are accurate.
