deserts are usually made of sand, and extreme temperatures (hot and cold) but the only thing that makes a desert a desert is the extreme temperatures and the very rare vegetation. for example, Antarctica is a desert because it is freezing cold and it doesn't really have a lot of plants. Another example would be the Sahara Desert.
