It stretches from the Rann of Kachch in Gujarat to the borders of Haryana. It covers a large part of Rajasthan. At some places there are small hills of sand called sand dunes. Hot and dry winds blow in the desert. They carry a large amount of sand with them. These winds can shift the sand dunes. The desert region remains hot and dry throughout the year. There is very little or no rainfall. Places which get very little rainfall gradually become deserts. Cutting of trees and overgrazing have increased the spread of desert areas.
