Lack of precipitation causes a desert. A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year on average.
Desert makes up about one fifth of all land on earth, around 20%. In total, the land makes up about 29% of the Earths surface, with the remainder being oceans and seas. The total desert coverage of the earth is therefore around 20% of 29%, or around 6%.
