It is the namib desert. the country in which it is located is called Namibia (got its name from the Namib desert, formerly know as South West Africa. Its Capital is Windhoek)\n\nThe coast next to the Namib desert is called the skeleton coast

The Drakensbarge (Dragons mountains) is the major mountain range in the country. Table Mountain in Cape Town is one of the most well know land features. The biggest river is the Orange River, and another big one is the Vaal River. The Karoo is a major inland desert area. There are so many other places to mention it will take for ever but that is the main ones.

Deserts can be either HOT or COLD. Antartica is also a desert.\n\nIn geography, a desert is a landscape form or region that receives little precipitation. Generally deserts are defined as areas that receive an average annual precipitation of less than 250 mm (10 inches).\n\nDeserts have a reputation for supporting very little life. Compared to wetter regions this may be true, although deserts often have high biodiversity, including animals that remain hidden (especially during the daylight) to preserve moisture. About one-fifth of Earth's land surface is desert.\n\nDesert landscapes have certain features. Deserts are often composed of sand and rocky surfaces. Sand dunes called ergs and stony or hamada surfaces compose a minority of desert surfaces. Exposures of rocky terrain are typical, and reflect minimal soil development and sparseness of vegetation. Bottom lands may be salt-covered flats. Eolian (wind-driven) processes are major factors in shaping desert landscapes. Cold deserts have similar features but the main form of precipation is snow rather than rain. The largest cold desert is Antarctica (composed of about 98 percent thick continental ice sheet and 2 percent barren rock). The largest hot desert is the Sahara.

Yes it cdan be too cold to snow. \n\nThe driest spot on the face of the earth is NOT the Atacama desert, it is the South Pole. From the reference here are figures of mm. of precipitable water vapor in the air measured in 1995:\n\nSouth Pole \nPercentile, Winter  & Summer \n\n25%, .19    .34\n50%, .25    .47\n75%, .32    .67\n\nAtacama\nPercentile, Winter & Summer\n\n25%, .68 1.1\n50%,  1.0 2.0\n75%,  1.6 3.7\n\nThe Atacama is so dry that there are some places in the Atacam where it has never been any measurable rain recorded, in over 100 years of measurements. Yet, the driest season in the Atacama still has considerably more precipitable water vapor in the air than the most humid season at the South Pole.  \n\nSo the answer is, yes it can be so cold that there is no moisture in the air, so it cannot snow.

A dust storm (or sandstorm in some contexts) is a meteorological phenomenon common on the Great Plains of North America, in Arabia, the Gobi Desert of Mongolia, the Taklamakan Desert of northwest China, the Sahara Desert of northern Africa,Thar Desert of India and other arid and semi-arid regions. Such a storm is usually the result of convection currents created by intense heating of the ground. The air over the sand becomes hot, and rises. This creates differences in air pressure and temperature, and the cooler winds begin to rush in. The wind is strong enough to move dunes, and it often interferes with travel, sometimes obliterating roads in flat dry regions such as those of the western United States. The simoom or simoon (sîmūm, sîmūn) is the dust- and sand-laden desert wind of N Africa and Arabia that contributes largely to the atmospheric dust over Europe; evidence of the dust from simoon winds has also been found on the seafloor at considerable distances from shore. The haboob (həbūb) is a sandstorm prevalent in the region of Sudan around Khartoum. Sandstorms, the leading edges of which often appear as solid walls of dust as much as 5,000 ft (1,525 m) high, also occur, although less frequently, in the SW United States. One that occurred near Tucson, Arizona, on July 16 1971, was extensively documented by meteorologists. Similar duststorms from windborne particles are evident on the planet Mars and are thought to be seasonal. Severe dust storms can reduce visibility to zero, making travel impossible, and can blow away valuable topsoil, while depositing soil in places where it may not be wanted. Drought and wind contribute to the emergence of dust storms, as do poor farming and grazing practices. The dust picked up in such a storm can be carried thousands of kilometers: Sahara dust storms influence plankton growth in the western Atlantic Ocean and, according to some scientists, are an important source of scarce minerals for the plants of the Amazon rainforest. Dust storms can often be observed from satellite photos.

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.

Perhaps the biggest and most famous one is the Arizona Memorial.  It is located directly above the battleship Arizona.  It was also funded by a benefit concert by Elvis Pressley.

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.

Comprising almost the entire southern half of South America, Argentina is the world's eighth largest country, covering an area of 2.8 million square km. Argentina possesses some of the world's tallest mountains, expansive deserts, and impressive waterfalls, with the diversity of the land ranging from wild, remote areas in southern Patagonia to the bustling metropolis of Buenos Aires in the north.                                                                        San Luis is West of Buenos Aires          \nCouldn't find Villa Mercedes or the general involved in the 24 Sept 1874 revolution.\nAlways wanted to go through Patagonia and down to Tiera del Fuego.
