desert regions
Sandy, barren territories
Desert regions are areas receiving minimal precipitation, typically characterized by sparse vegetation and extreme temperatures.
The term appears in geographic, ecological, and climate contexts: Desert regions cover about one-third of Earth's land surface.
These areas range from hot sandy expanses like the Sahara to cold deserts like Antarctica's interior.
