Spreading or growing of desert areas is called desertification.
Cacti are typically found in arid and semi-arid regions, such as deserts and dry grasslands. They are well-adapted to thrive in high temperatures and low rainfall conditions.
Some regions that receive a small amount of rain are deserts, such as the Sahara in Africa and the Atacama in South America. Other examples include polar regions, like Antarctica, and certain parts of Australia. These areas often have arid or semi-arid climates with little precipitation.
The dry regions in the lower latitudes coincide with zones of air pressure called the subtropical high-pressure zones. These zones are characterized by descending air that limits cloud formation and precipitation, resulting in arid conditions in regions such as deserts.
Plants that can thrive in semi-arid deserts include cacti, succulents, agave, yucca, sagebrush, and mesquite. These plants have adapted to survive in arid conditions by storing water in their tissues or having deep root systems to access underground water sources.
That is called an oasis. Oases are small fertile areas in deserts that provide water and support vegetation like palm trees. They are crucial for wildlife and travelers in arid regions.
All deserts are arid regions. That's why they are called deserts.
Regions that receive less than 25 centimeters of rain annually are called deserts.
Deserts are arid. There is no such thing as a 'semi-arid' desert. Semi-arid regions are steppes or grasslands.
Russia has some semi-arid regions as well as tundra but no true deserts.
Deserts are only located in arid regions, if they were anywhere else they wouldn't be deserts.
No, but there are some small deserts and semi-arid regions in some European countries.
Kansas has some semiarid regions but no true deserts.
All deserts are 'water thirsty.' That is why they are called deserts - they are arid regions that experience low rainfall. The Thar is no exception. If it received more rainfall it would cease to be a desert.
Deserts are arid, nor semiarid. Semiarid regions are usually grasslands or steppe. The danger is that human abuse of these regions will turn them into true deserts.

Deserts are arid and not semiarid. There is no such place as a semiarid desert. Semiarid regions are steppes or grasslands.
