Deserts

Ayers Rock - aka 'Uluru' - is the famous landmark in the Australian desert.

There isn't any direct effect of humans on a desert but chopping off trees and the release of CO2 is effecting the global warming which is causing a lot of rivers to dry and are causing deserts to be formed.

Answer

Humans have lived in deserts for eons. In the southwestern U.S. there is archaeological evidence dating from the 900s AD. They hunted, farmed and lived in the same areas, traveling from place to place seasonally without too much effect on the ecosystem. Near Tucson, Arizona, there are miles of canals they built to divert water from the Santa Cruz to farm. Nearby mountains are terraced, which added to the months available to grow food.

These days, human effects on the biome are prevalent. The Santa Cruz doesn't run anymore, since the large populations of the cities have caused the water table to drop drastically. Water from the Colorado River does not flow as heavily as before since there are many upstream diversions. Temperatures have increased due to the building of roads, parking lots and buildings, which are called "heat islands." Local wild animals, including javalinas, coyotes, bobcats and others are readily seen down in the city, as people have built more houses in their usual habitats. Local mine tailings are visible and the effects of those on the local water system is being heavily debated.

Actually, there are a large number of snake species that live in the deserts of the world.

A desert is a region where the area experiences little or no rain for a long time. It is just like the Sahara desert but instead of sand, it is ice. Instead of 40 degrees Celsius, think of negative 20 degrees Celsius. One (of the best) example would be Antartica. Also at night a desert gets very cold. SO MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A SWEATER.

The Sahara because it is the biggest desert in the world and the second largest is in the USA, so it is the Sahara.

Some lizards feed on plants, many feed on insects and other smaller arthropods and some feed on other lizards. Larger lizards, such as the Gila monster or monitors will feed on small mammals, birds and their eggs.

There are many major cities in the deserts of the world. Here are just a few examples:
Cairo, Egypt
Las Vegas, Nevada
Phoenix, Arizona
Tucson, Arizona
El Paso, Texas
Bakersfield, California
Cd. Juarez, Mexico
Chihuahua, Mexico
Hermosillo, Mexico
Arica, Chile
Antofagasta, Chile

The Thar Desert is found in northwest India.

Any animal found in a desert is a consumer. Only plants are classified as producers. Some animals eat plants, other animals eat animals that eat plants. Plants are the basis for any food chain.

There is no such place as the Saguaro Desert. There is the Sonoran Desert where the saguaro cactus grows. Some small animals such as rodents and rabbits feed on the prickly pear as well as javelina, deer, pronghorns, bighorn sheep and tortoises.

They are adapted in a number of ways like being able to close their nostrils from sand. There feet are also specially designed to stop them from sinking into the sand. My favourite one is that they store water in their humps therefore can survive a short time without fluid.

The majority of the people living in the Sahara Desert are nomads, which means that these people continuously move from region to region in search of better living conditions.

The Namib Desert is a desert in Namibia which forms part of the Namib-Naukluft National Park one of Africa's largest. The name "Namib" is of Nama origin. The desert occupies an area of around 50 000 km², stretching some 1,000 miles (1,600 km) along the Atlantic Ocean coast of Namibia, which is named after this desert. Its east-west width varies from 30 to 100 miles (50-160 km). The Namib Desert also reaches into southwest Angola.

Yes, the Nubian Desert is part of the Sahara Desert in Africa.

Some maybe because it is only cold in deserts at night and during the day it is very hot so it could and then it would all melt as soon a it became daylight

There are over 2 dozen major desert areas around the world. For a list of these along with there locations click on this link.

In nearly all biomes, the dominant (must numerous) form of wildlife are insects. The weight of all insects found in a region is far greater than all other animals combined. Ants and termites make up the greater number of insects in the desert.

The Sahara became a desert in about 1600 BCE. This happened because shifts in the Earth's axis increased temperatures and decreased precipitation.

The kind of people who live in the Little Sandy Desert belong to two quite different groups. There are the people known as indigenous Australians. These people are no longer reliant on hunting and gathering for their food, living a semi-westernised lifestyle in small settlements. On the other end of the scale, there are some mining communities in the Little Sandy Desert. Just recently, in July 2014, approval was given for a new uranium mine. Thus, miners and engineers also live in this part of Australia.

The deserts are natural however, mans activities can cause them to spread.

Absolutely.Eastern, Western , and part of the Libyan desert. Most of Egypt is desert, except part bordering the Nile River, and some parts bordering the Mediterranean Sea and the Suez canal zone .

No,for food they can survive a week without but for water only a few days

A scorpion will travel through the desert with it's stinger (tail) out ready to attack it's prey so the scorpion can eat it. The scorpion will mostly stay under rocks where it is cooler than out in the boiling sun. They roam around at night to avoid the heat of the daytime sun.
