Where can deserts be found?

Answer 1

yes deserts really were once oceans.I did an experiment, I took some desert sand, sea water, plastic box and a ruler that measures inches and millimeters. I put some inches of sand in the plastic box. Then I put the same amount of water as I put for the sand, I measured it and left it out in the sun to evaporate. I checked it every single week and the amount of the water got lesser and lesser,I kept measuring it with a ruler and after several weeks the water disappeared and the sand dried up. And that is how deserts were oceans in the past.

Answer 2

Deserts can be found on all seven continents. Even Europe has a number of small arid regions.
There are different types of deserts (hot and cold), a place is considered a desert when there is either no precipatation (rain) or the annual evaporation rate far exceeds the rate of precipetation.

Deserts are found all over the world
In places on earth where evaporation is higher than precipitation ( rain) or the annual rainfall in millimetres is under 250
Usually in the Arid temperate zones.

The most notable are located in the western US, North Africa (Sahara), the far east (Gobi), and the Australian "Outback."
The Middle East
Wherever there is limited precipitation during the year.

Far from water sources - so look inland.

On the side of mountain ranges where the rain does not fall (rain shadow).
