What is a desert? Explain any one of the desert ?
Answers
Answer:
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. About one-third of the land surface of the world is arid or semi-arid.

Hot deserts are hot arid areas with little rainfall, extreme temperature and sparse vegetation. Generally, the deserts that are found in the tropical and sub-tropical regions (western coasts of continents) between the 15 degrees and 30 degrees north and south of the equator are hot deserts.
