Free Desert
A desert is a landscape or region of land that is very dry because of low rainfall amounts (precipitation)‚ often has little coverage by plants‚ and in which streams dry up unless they are supplied by water from outside areas.[1] Deserts can also be described as areas where more water is lost by evapotranspiration than falls as precipitation.[2] Desert plants must have special adaptations to survive with this little water. Deserts take up about one third (33%) of the Earth’s land surface.[3] Bottomlands

Australian Desert 1. The Tropic of Capricorn passes thru the center of Australia. This means the country lies close enough to trade wind latitudes for the prevailing winds to be from the southeast. These bring maritime conditions‚ with abundant rain‚ to the coast of New South Wales and Queensland. 2. Inland lies the Great Dividing Range‚ a mountain range running the length of the country parallel to the east coast. 3. Lands to the west of the mountains lie in a rain shadow. 4. 40% of Australia’s

Stretching from South Mongolia to China‚ Gobi Desert is the world fifth-largest desert. With wonders like the Silk Road‚ the remote
