  10. A large area of land covered with sand is called a desert. In the north-western part of India is the Indian Desert or the Thar Desert. It covers parts of Rajasthan. This area is mostly hot and dry and there is very little rain. Very few plants and trees grow in such places. The camel is the most important animal in the desert. It can live without water for many days. INDIAN DESERT
