Deserts are some of the harshest environments in the world. They can be found just about anywhere water is scarce, including in tropical rain forests and even in cold and snowy Antarctica. When most people think of deserts, they immediately think of scorching heat. However, it takes more than heat alone to create a desert. While each desert is unique, all share commonalities: they are dry, windy, arid lands with little annual rainfall.
