The sites have information about different types of deserts, and the last two have maps, as well.

Sahara is the desert in Africa, but Antarctica is the largest desert in the world.  It may sound weird, but the lack of percipitation in Antarctica classifies it as a desert.

The formation of deserts has a lot to do with lattitude.  Most deserts are located in sub-tropical areas where high pressure is created by the circulation of air after it is heated in the tropics.  These areas have an almost perminent supply of a high pressure system that prevents a lot of precipitation and allows for extremely high temperatures.

Antarctica is the largest "cold" desert.  YES,  it is classified as a desert! It doesn't get rainfall that plants can use it only gets snow.\n\nThe largest hot desert would be the sahara in northern Africa.

Just to name a few...\n\nAlps, Himalayas, Rockies\n\nFor more info: http://www.peakware.com/areas.html\n\nAlthough the above link has ALL the ranges (a bit overwhelming) my suggestion, for your homework, is to find the high points of each continent and list that range. Those are likely the 'most important'.\n\nTo get you started:\nEurope: Mont Blanc (or Monte Bianco) (Actually, Russia may have a higher mountain technically in Europe)\nAsia: Mt. Everest\nNorth America: Mt. McKinnley (Denali)\nSouth America: Aconcaqua (SP?) in Argentina\nAfrica: ???\nAustralia: ???\nAntartica: ???

Never saw it before.  Thanks I bookmarked it.  At first I thought it was from Iraq but soon I recognized it as the Arizona desert.

Hi, Ishan,\n\nsee below some useful links. One is a news story about China's creeping deserts (BBC link); however, with climate change this is also seriously affecting E. Africa, where one can almost watch the dunes moving.
