Mongolia always had a small population. If you look back to the age of Ghengis Khan there were barely a million of Mongols. And if you trace them further back to the Huns age with Attila, they didn`t number much more than a million eighter. Did you know Huns are ancient Mongolians, and the word Hun or (Hun uu), means "man", thats how the mongols call their ancestors.

List of Abiotic Factors of the DesertDeserts are hot and dry. Some of the deserts in world are Thar desert, Sahara desert, Arabian desert, Gobi desert, Atacama, and Kalahari desert to name a few. The abiotic factors of such an ecosystem includes soil (sand), sunlight, temperature, air and water. The winds , scarcity of water, high temperature , heat and land covered with sand makes the habitat fit to those kinds of animals which can survive such extreme climatic conditions. Therefore, we mostly find animals like camels, sand boa, scorpions, lizards, insects, coyotes, and eagles. A few plants like cactus and other species of succulent plants that are adapted to hot and dry conditions are found in the deserts.

How did the Gobi Desert affect ancient Chinese civilization?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Gobi has several important historical trade routes that go into Mongolia. The Gobi is a natural border defense against attacks from marauding tribes and/or nations. The desert is vast enough to ensure that only the most well prepared enemies can sustain themselves in sufficient quantities to mount an attack.

Now a days the Gobi is important as a possible mineral resource area with finds of gold and copper located and possibly oil. The area has also been proposed to be "greened up" by adding irrigation and planting huge tree farms and other profitable space hungry farming ventures

How fast is the Gobi desert growing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Sahara desert is growing at an approximate rate of 0.6 kilometres outwards in each direction each year. However, the southern Sahara is growing much faster than the north due to the moistening winds of the Mediterranean.

The myth that the Sahara is growing due to Global Warming is completely false. It actually occurs largely as the cause of desertification, which in turn is caused by overgrazing from African nomads' herds.
