Deserts

The desert which is located on the western side of China is the Taklamakan Desert. This is the largest desert in China and can be seen from space.

No. South America is home to what is regularly referred to as the driest place in the world, the Atacama Desert of Chile. There are certain areas of this desert that have not had any rainfall on record. However, the wettest place is certainly not South American. Mawsynram and Cherrapunji in India are often regarded as the world's wettest places, with Mount Waiʻaleʻale, Hawaii and Lloro, Columbia, also breaking precipitation records. The latter being in South America. So it could very well be stated that South America has both the driest and the wettest places in the world!

The closest desert to Jamaica would e the Chihuahuan Desert which extends deep into Mexico, almost to Mexico City.

yes, over half the state is desert. Bend, Medford, Burns, Klamath Falls, and Ontario are all places in Oregon that are in deserts.

Brazil has no true deserts.

The Sahrah desert

Australia has no native cacti, so there are no cacti occurring naturally in the Great Victoria Desert. However, introduced cacti such as the prickly pear have spread as far west as the Great Victoria Desert.

The Antarctic continent s considered a desert, and the South Pole sits on the continent.

Antarctica is a polar region, one with essentially no precipitation, and one without lakes or rivers: it is in fact the driest continent.

Average temperatures in the Antarctic interior get down to -70 degrees Celsius during the winter months and -35 degrees Celsius in the warmer months.

The coastal temperatures are much warmer with a range of -15 to -32 Celsius in Winter and -5 to +5 Celsius in Summer.

The interior of Antarctica is considered the world's driest desert because the extreme cold freezes water vapour out of the air.

Annual snowfall on the polar plateau is equivalent to less than 5 cm of rain.

The sonoran desert covers 100,000 square miles.

A person can survive indefinitely if that person has sufficient food and water.

The Gobi is the largest desert inChina. Part of it extends into Mongolia.

Arizona is located in the southwest part of the United States. The weather is hot and arid with very little rainfall. Summers are typically very hot and winters are often quite mild.

Ankara has a dry summer continental climate but is not located in a desert.

I don't know a lot of the animals inhabiting that region but I do know it has one of the largest flamingo populations in the world as well as a large amount of meerkat's. Hope this helps.

A Desert is any place in which there is no life because rainfall or temperature conditions prohibit it. Technically the largest desert in the world is the continent of Antarctica, which is bigger than Australia.

Australia being around 8M Sq Km and Antarctica being around 14M Sq Km.

There are no trees or shrubs, and only two species of flowering plants, Antarctic hair grass (Deschampsia antarctica) and Antarctic pearlwort (Colobanthus quitensis) are found. The vegetation is predominantly made up of lower plant groups (mosses, liverworts, lichens and fungi) which are specially adapted to surviving in extreme environments, in particular, tolerating low temperatures and dehydration. There are, in total, around 100 species of mosses, 25 species of liverworts, 300 to 400 species of lichens and 20-odd species of macro-fungi.

The Thar Desert is on the border between Pakistan and India.

There are several major deserts in Asia. Some of these include the Gobi Desert, the Karakum Desert, Kyzylkum Desert, as well as the Takla Makan Desert.

Namib and Kalahari :)

You can find Antarctica south of 60 degrees S. All of the continent is considered a desert, because of its low -- average five percent -- humidity, and lack of precipitation.

It depends which desert you mean; Antarctica is a desert and also the coldest place on Earth - averaging -50oC in the winter.

Conversely, the Lut Desert is also a desert and that's the hottest place on Earth - reaching 70oC(!)

Even in "regular deserts" such as the Sahara, there is an enormous range between the maximum and minimum - there is very little moisture in the air to hold heat so the night temperature is very low; travellers have said the saliva freezes in their mouth during the night.
