Hello friend this is our answer
Most desert soils are called Aridisols (dry soil). However, in really dry regions of the Sahara and Australian outback, the soil orders are called Entisols. Entisols are new soils, like sand dunes, which are too dry for any major soil horizon development.
Desert soils are highly variable: They may be deep, shallow, salty or covered with desert pavement, or have crusts or cement-like horizons near the surface. Deserts cover 20 to 33% of the Earth's land surface, and can be found in the tropics, at the poles, and in between.
