World Map's video: Deserts of the World Deserts According to Respective Continents World s Major Deserts Deserts Map

Desert A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation. The Arabian Desert is a vast desert wilderness in Western Asia. It stretches from Yemen to the Persian Gulf and Oman to Jordan and Iraq. It occupies most of the Arabian Peninsula, with an area of 2,330,000 square kilometers. It is the fifth largest desert in the world, and the largest in Asia.  The Atacama Desert is a desert plateau in South America covering a 1,600 km strip of land on the Pacific coast, west of the Andes Mountains.  North America has four major deserts: Great Basin, Mohave, Chihuahuan and Sonoran. All but the Sonoran Desert have cold winters. Freezing temperatures are even more limiting to plant life than is aridity, so colder deserts are poorer in both species and life forms, especially succulents. The named deserts of Australia cover 1,371,000 km², or 18% of the Australian mainland, but about 35% of the Australian continent receives so little rain, it is effectively desert. The deserts in Australia are primarily distributed throughout the Western Plateau and interior lowlands of the country. The Gobi Desert is a vast, arid region in northern China and southern Mongolia. It's known for its dunes, mountains and rare animals such as snow leopards and Bactrian camels. In the Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park, the Khongoryn Els sand dunes are said to sing when the wind blows.  The Central Asian northern desert is an ecoregion in the deserts and xeric shrublands biome, located in the Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The annual precipitation ranges from 100 to 150 mm, the winters are cold at −10 to −15 °C and the summers hot at around 25 °C. The Taklamakan Desert is a desert in Southwest Xinjiang in Northwest China. It is bounded by the Kunlun Mountains to the south, the Pamir Mountains to the west, the Tian Shan range to the north, and the Gobi Desert to the east.  The Sahara is a desert on the African continent. With an area of 9,200,000 square kilometres, it is the largest hot desert in the world and the third largest desert overall, smaller only than the deserts of Antarctica and the northern Arctic.  Some useful links FATF Greylist Countries https://youtu.be/RV6TbQBk5LA Highest Points of World Continents https://youtu.be/GZCFW341EBU Organization of Islamic Cooperation https://youtu.be/7ToBV-d7HZ4 Physical Geography of Antarctica https://youtu.be/Q1BdR4SzxaU Physical Geography of Central Asia https://youtu.be/yOQb9t1yls8 Equator Passing through the Following Countries https://youtu.be/EanbzvE-UbU Scandinavian Countries https://youtu.be/rTMcJODOSyU 'sDesert &ColdestDesert
