the desert is very large and I, personally, would not blame the people of South America for not living there. also most areas receive no rainfall each year. The place is a barren wasteland!

Russia is most likely to have the largest number of deserts, due to its massive size. However, it is not really known as no statistics are given for the number of deserts in each country, it is only an educated guess.
nobody knows exactly how much there are but the majority of them do live in the desert
I have a little leaky dingy, would you like to ride it? It has a mind of its own.
The Gobi Desert is the 5th largest desert by size at 1,300,000 square kilometers. It is the largest desert in Asia covering parts of north and northwestern China and southern Mongolia.

North America - the Chihauhuan Desert, Great Basin Desert, Mojave Desert, and the Sonoran Desert.South America - the Monte Desert, Atacama Desert, Sechura Desert, and the Patagonian Desert.Australia - the Gibson Desert, Little Sandy Desert, Great Vistoria Desert and the Simpson Desert.Asia - the Takalamakan Desert, Gobi Desert, Arabian Desert and the Thar Desert
A desert has as much space as it needs. The size varies from one square mile for the Carcross Desert to 5,400,000 square miles for the Antarctic Desert. Geography determines the size of a desert.
Sample is preferred to population because observing the population can be impossible due to its size. You take a random sample of the population and, with statistics, you can infer things about that population to various degrees of confidence based on the sample size and on other knowledge about the population. For instance, if you wanted to know how many people on earth have brown hair, you would not check all 6 billion people - you would create a sample set, say a few hundred, thousand, or whatever - count the number with brown hair - and then run your calculations.

It would have been impossible to support a civilization the size of Ancient Egypt in the desert, for one they couldn't grow food to feed the population and two there were no significant water resources from which to draw from. Therefore they stuck to their life line on the Nile River.
It is the largest "hot" desert in the world and second in size after the Antarctic Desert, which is the worlds largest "cold" desert
