About the Deserts Map Quiz
The Deserts Map Quiz helps players locate the world’s major dry regions. Deserts are not all sandy or hot; they are defined by very low rainfall and can include rocky, icy, coastal, and high-altitude landscapes.
Fun facts
- Antarctica is the largest desert because it receives very little precipitation.
- The Sahara is the largest hot desert.
- Deserts can have unique plants, animals, and human cultures adapted to dry conditions.
Tips before you play
- Look for dry belts around 30 degrees north and south of the equator.
- Remember that some deserts sit beside mountains or cold ocean currents.
- Do not assume every desert is covered in sand dunes.
