(a) In night
(b)In the morning
(c) In the afternoon
Ans. In night (full credit)
Q. C Why is the camel known as ‘The Ship Of Desert’?

Ans. Camel is known as the “Ship of Desert” because it is the only mean of transportation found in desert. It
has humps which help it to survive long dry periods without water because of its many adaptations.
Q. D A camel can do without water for days together. What is the reason given in the text?
Ans. A camel does not need to regulate its body temperature through sweating. Therefore it losses less
water. Also, the camel can consume a greater quantity of water in a go.
Q. E How do the smaller desert animals fulfill their need for water?
41 | P a g e
Ans. The smaller desert animals remain in their burrows during the day. Thereby, they avoid the exposure to
heat
which could result in loss of water. Furthermore, they consume other animals or plants and the moisture
from meat and plant juices, respectively supplements their need for water.
Q.F In a desert the temperature rises during the day and falls rapidly at night. Why?
Ans. It is due to the absence of moisture in the air. The moisture in the air usually act as a protective
blanket and protects the earth. However, in the desert this is not the case. Therefore, the rapid rise
and fall in the temperature.
42 | P a g e
1. On the basis of the above pictures describe desert in your own way. Write also about the lifestyle
of people in desert areas— their food, clothes, work, social customs, etc. (Try to recognize flora
and fauna)
Ans. A desert is generally without water and vegetation but it as beautiful as a forest. A desert may be too hot or
too cold but plants and animals there have learned to survive in hot and dry and cold condition. Deserts also
have a different kind of vegetation. Temperatures rise and fall to the extremes in deserts. Rainfall varies every
year. Ponds are the only sources of water for animals and human beings. Life is difficult for these dwellings
however they live life with rich customs and traditional values. Tourists throng these places to know more about
such cultures.
Woodwork, wool-weaving, leather work, jewellery- making, cloth-dyeing, embroidery, snake- charming,
agriculture (in a few parts), herd- grazing are the major occupations of these people. Folk music and dance are
the living traditions of Thar.
