There are actually two kinds of deserts - hot deserts and cold deserts, However, cold deserts is further subdivided into:
Polar Deserts (eg: Antarctica)
Cold Winter Deserts (eg: Gobi Desert)
Cool Coastal Deserts (eg: Atacama Desert)
desert
essentially there are 2 disticnt typessubdivided into 5 catergories ; of desert according to the landscapes :Sand desert --- a wavy sand sea Stony desert --- gravel surfaces Rock desert--- bare rock surfaces with huge pavement that kept clear of sand or gravel by wind Plateau desert --- rocky plateaux , deeply eroded wadis, buttes or inselbergs (for details, please refer to Action of Rain) Mountain desert--- bare and arid arrays of jagged rock peaks ( The above landscapes can be found quite close to each other, like the desert complex in North America )Clarification:Science classifies deserts as either hot(Sahara, Mojave) or cold (Atacama, Antartica). Either desert may exhibit the landforms mentioned in the previous answer.
There are some desert areas, marshes, swamps, farm land, and small forrests...

Desert regions differ in their landscapes. Sand deserts are sandy. Stony deserts have gravel surfaces. Rock deserts have bare rock surfaces are kept clear of sand or gravel by the wind. Deserts that are rocky plateaus are Plateau deserts, and bare and ariid arrays of jagged rock peaks are Mountain deserts. Deserts also differ in the types of wildlife and plants that live in them.

Any solid object has a surface, and there are almost as many types of surfaces as there are classifications of objects. Surfaces can be smooth, granular, abrasive, glossy, flat, curved, and in any shape or texture imaginable.

This is known as a ventifact. A ventifact with three pyrimidal faces is given the name Dreikanter, which when translated from German, literally means "three sided".
Some common types of reflective surfaces include mirrors, glass, polished metal, water, and glossy surfaces like polished marble or granite. These surfaces are able to reflect light due to their smooth and flat characteristics, which allow for minimal light absorption and maximum reflection.
Some common types of lizards that live in desert environments include the Gila monster, desert horned lizard, collared lizard, and desert iguana. These lizards have adapted to survive the harsh conditions of the desert, such as extreme heat and limited water sources.
Many types of plants and animals can live in a desert. People can also build cities in a desert, as long as they have some way to supply water to the city.
