What physical factor influences desert formation?

One physical factor that influences desert formation is low precipitation levels. Deserts typically receive very little rainfall, which inhibits the growth of most vegetation and leads to arid conditions. Temperature also plays a role in desert formation, as high temperatures can increase evaporation rates and contribute to aridity.


What are some physical features of Egypt?

The Nile, the pyramid, sphinx's., etc.Egypt is a large and diverse nation. The most prominent feature is the arm of the Sahara desert that goes through it. This is characterized by expansive landscapes of flowing sand dunes and barren, sand-scarred rocks. This landscape can be spotted with oaisis. These will be areas in the middle of barren areas that have trees, grasses, flowering plants, and even flowing water in them. This is because an underwater river comes close enough to the surface that plants can use their moisture to survive in the harshness of the desert. There is, however, also the Nile river and Nile delta. These are very lush regions. Because of it's high tendency to flood and the massive amount of water that flows through it, life can flourish in these regions. This is also were the majority of the population of Egypt is located, which also means that this is where most of the architecture is. This includes the incredible pyramids and multitude of Ancient Egyptian temples.
