In
Pakistan There is life in Deserts
The desert areas include the steppes of the Sindh Sagar Doab (at its centre is the Thal, which has true desert conditions) and Cholistan in the Bahakalpur region (Punjab), which is known as the Nara or Registan in the Khairpur region (Sindh) and as the Thar Desert in the Thar Parkar region of southeastern Sindh. All these areas are extensions of the Thar Desert of western India.

The deserts in Pakistan and India fall in the category of the Monsoon Deserts. "Monsoon," derived from an Arabic word for "season," refers to a wind system with pronounced seasonal reversal. Monsoons develop in response to temperature variations between continents and oceans. The southeast trade winds of the Indian Ocean, for example, provide heavy summer rains in India as they move onshore. As the monsoon crosses India, it loses moisture on the eastern slopes of the Aravalli Range. The Rajasthan Desert of India and the Thar Desert of Pakistan are parts of a monsoon desert region west of the range.
