Exploring the World's Deserts

Deserts cover about 20% of Earth's surface, mostly between 30° North and South latitude. The largest deserts, like the Sahara and Gobi, are often inland. North America hosts several deserts, including the Mojave, Sonoran, Chihuahuan, and Great Basin, each with unique climates and features. Deserts vary in moisture, temperature, and soil types.
