PYQ Analysis:
- RPSC consistently asks specific questions about named landforms rather than abstract type-classification
- Australian deserts appear as a list-type question (all six names with areas)
- Rocky Mountains appear as a descriptive geography question (physical features, significance)
- 2026 prediction: Expect 5-mark questions on (a) types of plateaus with examples or (b) specific desert formation; 10-mark on comparative distribution of any landform type globally
