Grand Erg Desret in Algeria

Probably about 90%; scientists just found a large area of land in Papua New Guinea (a large island north of Australia) that had never been searched by the natives before.  They found new bats and a new kangaroo, called a golden kangaroo.  There are likely places in the Sahara desert and Gobi desert (in Asia) that have never been touched by man, as well as much of the Australia outback, the north pole region (including Greenland) and Anarctica.  The person who said 100% is simply ignornant.

Yes it is considered a desert. It gets slightly more rainfall than the Sahara Desert, making it the largest desert on earth.

rain and heat from being close to the equator and having a varied terrain.

Desert - very dry, either hot or cold \nTundra - cool, treeless, and dry \nChaparral or scrub - coastal area with hot, dry summers and mild, cool, rainy winters \nTaiga or Coniferous Forest - cool and dry, with coniferous trees \nTemperate Deciduous Forest - cool and rainy, with deciduous trees \nGrassland - Windy, partly dry sea of grass with few trees, including tropical savanna, prairie, steppe, pampas, etc. \nMountina biomes: there are a lot of different biomes that exist on a mountains, from grasslands at low altitudes, taiga (coniferous forests) below the treeline, and alpine (the same as tundra) \nTemperate Rain Forest - cool and wet \nTropical Rain Forest - warm and very wet \nLand Caves - cool and dark \nWetlands - there are many types of wetlands, including swamps, marshes, moors, bogs, fens, sloughs, etc. \nFreshwater Marsh - a wetland located near creeks, streams, rivers and lakes \nTemperate ponds

I think that the Garden of Eden was once located where the Sahara Desert is today.  I also believe that Eden was  or was moved to a differnt dimension beyond the veil of this world.  An angel of fire guards the entrance to the Garden against any attempted "return" and that is why the area is now a desert.

The Great American Desert.

Mangrove swamps are found in the intertidal zone in tropical environments only.  Additionally mangrove swamps are only present in areas that have sandy shores.

B.  Tropical rain Forest.\n\nTemperate is north and south of subtropical/tropical.\n\nBoreal forest is coniferous forests.\n\nTundra is what you'd find near the arctic circle.

<The Sahara is the world's second largest desert (second to Antarctica), over 9,000,000 km² (3,500,000 mi²), located in northern Africa and is 2.5 million years old. The entire land area of the United States of America would fit inside it. Its name, Sahara, is an English pronuciation of the word for desert in Arabic (صحراء ).\nOverview\nThe boundaries of the Sahara are the Atlantic Ocean on the west, the Atlas Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea on the north, the Red Sea and Egypt on the east, and the Sudan and the valley of the River Niger on the south. Sahara is divided into western Sahara, the central Ahaggar Mountains, the Tibesti massif, the AﲠMountains (a region of desert mountains and high plateaus), Tenere desert and the Libyan desert (the most arid region). The highest peak in the Sahara is Emi Koussi (3415 m) in the Tibesti Mountains in northern Chad.The Sahara divides the continent into North and Sub-Saharan Africa. The southern border of the Sahara is marked by a band of semiarid savanna called the Sahel; south of the Sahel lies the lusher Sudan.\nHumans have lived on the edge of the desert for almost 500,000 years. During the last ice age, the Sahara was a much wetter place, much like East Africa, than it is today. Over 30,000 petroglyphs of river animals such as crocodiles survive in total with half found in the Tassili n'Ajjer in southeast Algeria. Fossils of dinosaurs have also been found here. The modern Sahara, though, is generally devoid of vegetation, except in the Nile Valley and at a few oases and in some scattered mountains and has been this way since about 3000 BC.\n\n2.5 million people live in the Sahara, most of these in Mauritania, Morocco and Algeria. Dominant groups of people are the Tuareg-Berber, the Sahrawis, Moors, and different black African ethnicities including the Tubu, the Nubians, the Zaghawas and the Kanuri. The largest city is Nouakchott, Mauritania's capital. Other important cities are Tamanrasset, Algeria; Timbuktu, Mali; Agadez, Niger; Ghat, Libya; and Faya, Chad.

The largest (nonpolar) desert in the world is the Sahara, in north Africa, which spans an area measured at roughly 3.5 million square miles.

Depends on which desert.  I live in Albuquerque NM, which is in a desert.  We have a vast (but shrinking) reserve of water under the ground.\n\nAlso, the largest body of fresh water in the world, Lake Vostok in Antartica is burried under miles of ice in a desert area.

Tropical "The tropical desert is an environment of extremes: it is the driest and hottest place on earth. Rainfall is sporadic and in some years no measurable precipitation falls at all. The terribly dry conditions of the deserts is due to the year-round influence of subtropical high pressure and continentality"\n(see resource below)\n\nwhat we will call subtropical desert is fairly warm, with average annual temperatures above 10° C and precipitation up to 100 cm/year.  The temperate desert is less well-defined, but again precipitation is less (usually much less) than 100 cm/year and average annual temperature is less than 10° C. (see second link below)\n\nHope that helps! Good luck!!

The tropics or the equatorial regions,   are the geographic region of the Earth centered on the equator (parallel 0) and limited in latitude by the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere, at approximately 23°26' (23.4°) N latitude, and the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere at 23°26' (23.4°) S latitude. This region is also referred to as the tropical zone and the torrid zone.\n\nThis area includes all the areas of the Earth where the sun reaches a point directly overhead at least once during the solar year. (In the temperate zones, north of the Tropic of Cancer and south of the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun never reaches an altitude of 90° or directly overhead.) The word "tropics" comes from Greek tropos meaning "turn", because the apparent position of the Sun oscillates between the two tropics with a period that defines the average length of a year.\n\nTropical plants and animals are those species native to the tropics. Tropical is also sometimes used in a general sense for a tropical climate, a climate that is warm to hot and moist year-round, often with the sense of lush vegetation. However, there are places in the tropics that are anything but "tropical" in this sense, with even alpine tundra and snow-capped peaks, including Mauna Kea, Mt. Kilimanjaro, and the Andes as far south as the northernmost parts of Chile and Argentina. Places in the tropics which are drier with low humidity are such as the Sahara Desert and Central Africa and Northern Australian Outback.\n\nTropical ecosystems may consist of rainforests, dry deciduous forests, spiny forests, desert and other habitat types. There are often significant areas of biodiversity and species endemism present particularly in rainforests and dry deciduous forests. Some examples of important biodiversity and/or high endemism ecosystems are: Costa Rican rainforests, Madagascar dry deciduous forests, Waterberg Biosphere of South Africa and eastern Madagascar rainforests. Often the soils of tropical forests are low in nutrient content making them quite vulnerable to slash-and-burn techniques, which are sometimes an element of shifting cultivation agricultural systems-.
