Hot desert landscapes are generally rocky and/or sandy. There are usually few or no trees, and mostly only small shrubs. Besides this, hot deserts can vary widely.
For example, in parts of the Sahara, there are miles of sand dunes, without a single living thing in sight. However, in Arizona, there are no dunes, but rather rocky ground with hills, mesas, and buttes, covered in low growing vegetation and cacti.
There are also cold deserts (also called tundra, or some are dry icecap regions). These areas include Antarctica, which is the world's largest desert (the largest hot desert is the Sahara). Cold deserts have no trees, and are either ice covered, or have grass and very short plants during the growing season. Only a few inches beneath the soil is ever thawed in these cold deserts, below that is permanently frozen soil called permafrost.

The Midwest United States has no true deserts.
Most of Antarctica is a desert, although the Antarctic Peninsula does have some characteristics of a polar tundra.
The Atlantic is an ocean and not a desert. Most of the Arctic is sea ice and not a desert. Those parts of the Arctic on land are considered as tundra and not desert. They share some similar characteristics but are separate biomes.
