Deserts

Abrasionchanges the desert surfaces by cutting and polishing exposed rock surfaces.

The Libyan Desert which is part of the Sahara located in Africa.

A sand dune is when wind is blow over a rock or plant and becomes higher and higher Sand dunes are formed when sand is blown by the wind. The sand collects debris from the sea and they began to pile up. More sand piles up so the mound becomes a sand dune. Plants like Marram grass hold together sand dunes.

Non living things in the desert are sand, rocks, oil and mineral deposits, and occasionally, water.

An oasis.

Type your answer here... There is not a Desert in New Zealand......But there is one on every other continent.

Germany has no true deserts. There are a few small areas of desert and semi desert in parts of Europe but none in Germany.

The answer depends upon which desert you are referring to. Some, such as the Sahara, Sonoran and Chihuahuan have hot summers. Others such as the Antarctic, Patagonian, Atacama have cool or even cold deserts.

A tropical desert is hot all year long with exception to night time (all deserts get cold when it is dark).

Temperate deserts have a winter season in which the desert gets colder during daylight hours, unlike tropical deserts.

All living things are closely related to their environment. Any change in one part of an environment, like an increase or decrease of a species of animal or plant, causes a ripple effect of change in through other parts of the environment. The survival and well being of a biome and its organisms depends on ecological relationships throughout the world. Even changes in distant parts of the world and its atmosphere affect our environment and us.

Most of the Arctic consists of sea ice and not land. Much of the land that is found in the region is tundra coverd with permafrost. Only a few inches of this permafrost thaws during the short summer months. The desert, especially the hot desert, has a greater variety of plants and animals, does not have permafrost (except Antarctica) and all deserts are located on solid ground, not sea ice.

In 1929, Cecil Madigan named the Simpson Desert after Allen Simpson, who was a major sponsor of his desert studies, and the President of the Royal Geographical Society in Adelaide. Prior to this, the desert was named the Arunta Desert after the Arrente aboriginal tribe who dwelt there, and was colloquially known as the "Great Ribbed Desert" because of the ribbed patterns of the sand dunes. It was originally discovered by Captain Charles Sturt in 1844.

Africa

Because its mostly rock (80%) and sand (20%) with very little green vegetation.

The Great Victoria Desert is located in south-central Australia. To view a map, click on this link.

There are no deserts in Kentucky.

There are more animals than people first think of. Many deserts have thriving populations of snakes and lizards, in addition to numerous beetles and other insects. All of the above are usually prey (or lunch !) to birds of prey, and other carnivores such as wild dogs etc.

All deserts, hot or cold, receive low rainfall. It is due to the geographic location of the particular desert. Some are located in mountain shadows, some are in areas with sinking air, some are along coastal areas with cold ocean currents. Some combine more than one of these features.

There are very small deserts in Guatemala as most of the country has a lot of vegetation to the east of the country is zacapa which is one of the places in the central American region that has the hottest and less humid weather, la fragua in zacapa is considered a desert, but people live in those conditions which provide the perfect weather for cropping tomatoes, melons, grapes and cantaloupes.

Not all deserts are hot. The Gobi Desert in Asia is an example of a desert with cool or cold areas. The term "Desert" does not refer to the average temperature of this biome; it refers to the lack of water and limited precipitation it receives.

There are none. Deserts are arid, not semiarid. A semiarid region would be a steppe or a grassland.
