Q. Consider the following:
  1. Moraines
  2. Mushroom rocks
  3. Shifting dunes
  4. Oasis
Which of the above are features associated with the Great Indian Desert?
Answer: Only 2, 3, and 4
Notes: Mushroom rocks, shifting dunes, and oasis are distinctive features of the Great Indian Desert, formed mainly by wind erosion and arid conditions. Moraines, on the other hand, are glacial features not found in the Great Indian Desert, as they are associated with the movement of glaciers rather than desert landforms.
