Desert
A
desert is a barren area of land where little
precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of
denudation. About one third of the land surface of the world is
arid or semi-arid. This includes much of the polar regions where little precipitation occurs and which are sometimes called
polar deserts or "cold deserts". Deserts can be classified by the amount of precipitation that falls, by the temperature that prevails, by the causes of desertification or by their geographical location.
