The importance of Thar Desert can be explained with the help of the following points: 

1. The Desert of Thar becomes very’warm in summer and turns into the center of low air pressure. So the summer monsoons (south-west) get attracted towards it and cause rainfall in India. 

2. The minerals like mica, gypsum, copper, marble, asbestos, rock phosphate, feldspar, mineral oil and natural gas make it important economically. 

3. It has strategic importance as it acts as a barrier between India and Pakistan. 

4. Due to physical diversities, it attracts many tourists towards India. 

5. The semi – arid regions of Thar are suitable for animal herding. 

6. The soil found here is fertile and the availability of water for irrigation purposes can transform it into agricultural land.
