desert
Antarctica is the driest continent on Earth. It receives very little precipitation annually, and a large part of its surface is covered by ice, making it a polar desert.
Antarctica is a continent -- the driest on earth. It is, however, covered by an ice sheet that contains about 90% of the earth's ice and about 70% of the earth's fresh water. Otherwise, it is land.
Aridisols are soils that develop in the driest climates, characterized by low precipitation and high evaporation rates. These soils are often found in desert regions and have limited organic matter and nutrient content.
The world's smallest, flattest, and driest continent is Antarctica. It is the fifth-largest continent in terms of area but has the lowest average elevation of all the continents. Antarctica is covered in ice and is the driest continent because it receives very little precipitation.
The wettest climate would typically lead to the development of peat soil, characterized by high organic content due to waterlogged conditions. In the driest climate, arid soils such as desert soils or aridisols would develop, with low organic matter content and minimal water availability.

It isn't. Australia is considered the driest inhabited continent with antarctica as the driest overall.
Antarctica is the driest continent.

The Desert is the driest biome.
In the wettest climate, soil development is dominated by leaching and podzolization processes, leading to the formation of podzols. In the driest climate, soil development is limited, leading to the formation of aridisols characterized by low organic matter content and distinct horizon development.
