Deserts

The video explores the characteristics and types of deserts, which cover a fifth of Earth's surface. It describes four main types: hot and dry, semi-arid, coastal, and cold. The Sahara is highlighted as the largest hot desert, while the Atacama is noted for its dryness despite its coastal location. The Sonoran desert exemplifies semi-arid deserts with its spiny plants and cooler nights. The Gobi is a cold desert with minimal rainfall and rocky terrain. Despite harsh conditions, many plants and animals have adapted to thrive in these environments.
