Which desert is currently expanding?
Through the process of desertification, the Sahara is growing rapidly each year.
Why is the Mojave Desert a desert?
The Mojave receives less than 10 inches of rain on average per year and the evaporation rate exceeds the precipitation rate. Both are descriptions of a desert.
What is classified as a desert?
Some scientists classify deserts are either hot or cold, others break that down further: Subtropical Desert - Sahara, Great Victorian, Chihuahuan, etc. Cool Coastal Desert - Namib, Atacama, etc. Cold Winter Desert - Gobi, Great Basin, Antarctica, etc.

How fast is the Sahara desert expanding each year?
The Sahara is currently expanding south at a rate of up to 48 kilometers per year.
If the Sahara Desert is moving south at a rate of about five miles per year how many years will it take the Sahara to reach the equator?
The desert is moving south at 2 feet per day. At that rate, it takes more than seven years to move one mile.
What is happening to the Sahara desert that is bad?
The Sahara Desert is expanding. This means it is encroaching upon otherwise good, fertile land. Poor agricultural practices along its southern borders have resulted in increased desertification, so grassland to the south of the Sahara is disappearing at the rate of 50 km every year.
Which country in North America can the Sahara Desert almost cover?
The Sahara could almost cover the United States. At the rate it is expanding it will not be long before it may be able to totally cover the country.
Is the Sahara Desert The largest desert in the US?
The Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert,The largest desert is actually Antarctica.No.The Sahara is the largest hot desert covering 3.6 million square miles, a bit larger than the Australian Outback, but ranks second in size to the Antarctic Desert which is the largest desert in the world (and the largest cold desert), covering 5.5 million square miles.trueNo.The world's largest desert is Antarctica since a desert is defined as an area receiving less than 250 mm or 10 inches of precipitation per year. The Antarctic desert covers 13.9 million square kilometres, or almost 5.5 million square miles.However, when most people think of deserts the implied thought is that they are sand based not ice based. It is also not known as the Antarctica Desert because it is not referred to as such in the text books.The Sahara is the largest hot desert. It is in northern Africa and occupies over a quarter of Africa, covering 9.1 million square kilometres, or 3.5 million square miles. It is generally more recognised as a desert because its rate of evaporation exceeds the rate of precipitation, whereas the Antarctic has a very low evaporation rate.The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world covering 3.6 milllion square miles, but Antarictica covers 5.5 million square miles and has less than 10 inches of precipitation per year. therefore Antarctica is the largest desert in the world.No, Antarctica is the largest desert in the world. The Sahara is the largest hot desert and the second largest desert.
How is big is the Sahara Desert?
9,400,000 square kilometres (3,600,000 sq mi)3.3 million square miles or around 25% of africa.
How much is the Sahara desert growing each year?
Yes: this process is called "desertification". The Sahara Desert is encroaching south upon the Sahel. The catalyst to this was the drought which occurred in Africa from 1968 to 1973, and the Sahel continues to be drought-prone, which in turn increases desertification. The Sahara desert is estimated to be growing at a rate of 0.6 km every year.
How long is the Sahara desert?
The boundaries of the Sahara are the Atlantic Ocean on the west, the Atlas Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea on the north, the Red Sea and Egypt on the east, and the Sudan and the valley of the Niger River on the south.The Sahara Desert is (very roughly) about 4800km (roughly East-West), by 1800km (roughly North South)
What large desert is Africa is almost as big as the forty eight states contiguous states in the US?
The Sahara Desert is currently slightly smaller than the contiguous United States. If desertification continues at the current rate it will soon be larger, however.
What is the expansion rate of nitrogen liquid to gas?
The expansion rate of liquid nitrogen is 697 to 1.
What large desert in Africa is almost as large as the 48 states?
The Sahara in northern Africa is almost as large as the contiguous 48 states. At the rate it is growing it may soon overtake the U.S. in size.
