Their tails give them a larger surface area, so they can cool off faster.

They have fur on the bottom of their back feet to protect them from the heat of the sand.

About 405,210 people live in western sahara. The largest city is La Youn.

In Western Sahara it is a tradition to capture a turtle on June 18th every year. This is thought to bring luck upon those who do so. It is rare to spot a turtle in Western Sahara, that is why it is thought to bring luck upon those whom capture them.

No.

Morocco and Western Sahara are in Western Africa and the Nile is in eastern Africa. Furthermore, there are no major rivers in Western Sahara at all.

Because Western Sahara is a non-self-governing territory, it does not have a capital. However, the largest city is El Aaiún (or since the city is under Moroccan administration, it is usually spelled Laâyoune, in keeping with French linguistic styles). Morocco has divided the areas into three provinces, the northernmost of which bleeds over into Morocco. The three provincial capitals are Laâyoune, Samarra, and Dakhla, and are all subservient to the Moroccan national capital of Rabat.

Currently, the Polisario Front, which is fighting for an independent Western Sahara uses the oasis of Bir Lehlou as its administrative capital, but argues that Al Aaiún will be its eventual capital when it ejects Morocco from the territory.

They don't have any government but Morocco have claimed parts of the territory in Western Sahara and there is some parts controlled by a organization that claims they are government of West Sahara

The Sahara Desert is a geographical region, not one single country

The Sahara climate is subtropical, hot desert at north and tropical, hot desert in the south part. The subtropical, hot desert climate is characterized by long, extremely hot summers and short, hot winters with a very high sunshine duration throughout the year, extremely low rate of yearly precipitation and large diurnal temperature amplitudes up to 20-25 °C. The tropical, hot desert climate is characterized by moderated extremely hot summers and hotter winters than in the subtropical climate and all with a high sunshine duration year-round, a very low rate of yearly precipitation and moderated diurnal temperature ranges up to 10-15 °C.

Becasue France once held Algeria as a colony

France never held Algeria as a colony. Spain did.

The main reason of the dispute was territory, but the Western Sahara is also rich in phosphate.

Actually, France DID hold Algeria as a colony from 1830 until the end of the long and bloody war of independence (1954-1962) when de Gaulle , realising the days of colonialism were ending, allowed the populace to vote for independence- which they did, overwhelmingly, causing the estimated one million french settlers to flee from the country.

The Spanish only held various small enclaves (e.g. Algiers) prior to the French invasion.

The Sahara area was split between Spain and France- whence the Nationalist forces under Franco launched the Spanish civil war.

The proper term is Sahraoui, but since most of Western Sahara is under Moroccan control, most Sahraouis have Moroccan nationality and passports.

The leader is Mohamed Abdelaziz

The people of Western Sahara declared independence in 1976 in a small hamlet called Bir Lehlu. At that time Morocco tried to occupy the territory. In 1991 a ceasefire was reached between Morocco and the independence movement POLISARIO, monitored by a UN peace mission called MINURSO.

Hot, bright and dry, with cold nights.

Theoretically, the country of Western Sahara would be this country. However, Western Sahara is currently occupied and controlled by the government of Morocco. Conversely, the Polisario government controls less than 9% of the area's territory and less than 5% of its population (including no urban centers).

The second largest desert in Africa is the Kalahari Desert between Botswana and South Africa.
The Kalahari Desert is second, behind the Sahara. The Kalahari covers much of Botswana, parts of Nambia, and a portion of Soouth Africa.

the land scape of the Sahara Desert is always changing, due to the wind blowing sand and water evaporation, so you never are able to tell at any given time. i hope you find this helpful.

Wheeling was West Virginia's first Capital. It was then moved to Charleston and then back to Wheeling until it burned down in 1885 so it was back to Charleston where it still is today.

Numbers come after distinct facts.

Western Sahara is piece of territory that was previously a Spanish colony (1) in northwest Africa (2) with Sunni Islam as its predominant religion (3). In 1975, international pressure forced Spain to leave, but no indigenous movement had developed to resist the Spanish leading to a power vacuum which Morocco filled (4). In the 1980s, the indigenous Sahrouis formed the Polisario Front and, with Algerian support, tried to eject the Moroccan presence. A UN-sponsored ceasefire in 1991 has effectively left Morocco in control of the territory. Currently the territory is not self-sufficient and requires numerous imports from Morocco proper to function (5). Additionally, large numbers of Sahrouis live in refugee camps in Polisario-controlled territory or Algeria (6).

The sandy region of the western Sahara in Mauritanian is called the empty "quarter".

Morocco has controlled Western Sahara as its three southernmost provinces since 1975. As a result of the war with the Sahraoui Polisario, Morocco currently controls 91% of the land and all major cities, but has ceded 9% of the desert in the east to the Polisario.

Some geographical features of the Sahara are sand dunes, dry valleys, salt flats, and several mountain ranges, some of which are volcanic.

All of those countries are generally considered to be NORTH AFRICA. Often included in this designation are Sudan and Mauritania.

If only Morocco, Western Sahara, Algeria, and Tunisia are considered, this smaller region is called the MAGHREB.
