Desert means sandy desertified land. One third of the earth's land area is desert. Because there is so little water, most people think the desert is desolate and lifeless, so it is called "barren sand".

Desert areas are mostly sandy beaches or dunes, often with rocks under the sand. The soil is thin and there are few plants. Some deserts are salt flats with no vegetation at all, and deserts are generally aeolian landforms.

Compared with other areas, there is not much life in the desert, but if you look closely, you will find that there are many animals hidden in the desert, especially the animals that come out at night.

There are also sometimes valuable deposits in deserts, because deserts have few inhabitants, making it easier to exploit resources.
