CHE SIGNIFICA DESERT IN INGLESE
Deserto
Un deserto è una zona sterile di terreno dove si verificano piccole precipitazioni e di conseguenza le condizioni di vita sono ostili per la vita vegetale e animale. La mancanza di vegetazione espone la superficie non protetta del terreno ai processi di denudazione. Circa un terzo della superficie terrestre del mondo è arido o semi-arido. Questo include gran parte delle regioni polari dove si verificano piccole precipitazioni e che talvolta sono chiamati "deserti freddi". I deserti possono essere classificati per la quantità di precipitazione che scende, per la temperatura che prevalge, dalle cause della desertificazione o dalla loro posizione geografica. I deserti sono formati da processi atmosferici come grandi variazioni di temperatura tra giorno e notte mettono ceppi sulle rocce che, di conseguenza, rompono pezzi. Anche se la pioggia si verifica raramente nei deserti, ci sono piogge occasionali che possono causare inondazioni in flash. La pioggia che scende sulle rocce calde può causare la frantumazione e i frammenti e le macerie disseminate sul pavimento del deserto sono ulteriormente erose dal vento. Questo raccoglie particelle di sabbia e polvere e li mette in alto in tempeste di sabbia o di polvere.
