CO OZNACZA SŁOWO DESERT
Pustynia
Pustynia jest jałowym terenem, w którym występuje niewielki opad i dlatego warunki życia są wrogo nastawione do życia roślinnego i zwierzęcego. Brak roślinności naraża na nieutrwaloną powierzchnię ziemi procesy denudacji. Około jednej trzeciej powierzchni lądowej jest sucha lub półsucha. Obejmuje to wiele regionów polarnych, w których występuje niewielki opad i które czasami nazywa się "zimnymi pustyniami". Pustynie można sklasyfikować na podstawie ilości opadów, które w miarę upływu temperatury powodują pustynnienie lub położenie geograficzne. Pustyny są tworzone przez procesy wietrzenia, gdyż duże wahania temperatury między odcinkiem dziennym i nocnym nakłada się na skały, które w konsekwencji pękają w kawałki. Chociaż deszcz występuje rzadko w pustyniach, to okazjonalne opady mogą powodować powodzie. Deszcz spada na gorące skały może powodować ich rozpryskiwanie, a powstałe fragmenty i gruz, porozrzucane przez pustynię, są dalej osłabiane przez wiatr. Powstaje cząstki piasku i pyłu i wysadza je w powietrzu w piasku lub burzach.
