Arizona is a state in the Southwestern United States. It is well known for its hot, dry desert, the Sonoran Desert in the southern part of the state, where Phoenix and Yuma are, plus it also has the Painted Desert in a northern area. However, Arizona is not just desert; it also features mountains, Ponderosa Pine forests, plateaus, river areas, flatland, and of course the Grand Canyon.

Answer 3

A desert can be described practically as well as scientifically. The practical definition is a place with little available water. The scientific definition is any location with a comparatively low volume of rainfall or other precipitation, primarily due to weather patterns. This means that Antarctica, which consists of enormous amounts of frozen fresh water, could still be classified as a desert.

Deserts as dry places are created when water is being removed (mostly by evaporation), but is not being returned by weather to the same location. Water flow into some areas may be restricted (as by natural or artificial dams), preventing lost water from returning to the environment there.

Common examples of deserts are the Sahara (rock, gravel, and sand), the Mojave (which includes alkali salt flats), and the Gobi in Central Asia.
