Two, apparently.\nTabernas Desert - Almería, Spain \nBledowska Desert - Malopolska, Poland\n\nAlso hints of another from the BBC in Iceland.

Deserts can form in several ways that I know of...\n\nRainshadow effect on the leeward side of a mountain range. Most of the water is wrenched out of the air masses before they reach the other side of the range. This is due to the lifting of the air. It is forced to rise, condenses due to adiabatic cooling, & precipitates.\n\nThe most influential cause would be high pressure belts located around the world. These places are roughly located around the tropics of cancer & capricorn. In these areas, the high pressure is pushing down air. When there is a continuous belt of high pressure, air doesn't rise. If air doesn't rise then clouds can't form & rain won't happen. The Sahara & the Kalahari in Africa are examples.\n\nAnother would be inland deserts. They are so far removed from sources of moisture that they simply never get any. If I am not mistaken, the Gobi Desert is one.

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.

I'm pretty sure it's Europe.

Europe is the world's second-smallest continent in terms of area, covering about 10,390,000 square kilometres (4,010,000 sq mi) or 2.0% of the Earth's surface.

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

Generally desert.  Look it up at the library or online - you can do that, ya know.

Depends upon the desert.  I have never seen a camel in North America.\nHowever world wide desert herbivores do include the camel, dromedary, kangaroo, gazelles, jerboa, mice, kangaroo rats, bighorn sheep, some bats, peccary, rabbits, gopher, prairie dog, mule deer, porcupine, deer, burros and addax (an antelope).\nI am sure that this just scratches the surface, so to speak.

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.

WOW ... does it have to be one place?  If not, I would start in the Mediterranean ... Greece, Dalmatia, Italy.  Spain would be a nice stop over.

Antarctica is a desert.  It is what is known as a cold desert, which is probably why you find that it is not classified along with hot deserts like the Sahara.  A hot desert is defined by geographers as a region where the rate of evaporation exceeds precipitation, and where precipitation is below 254 mm per year.  In a cold desert, by contrast, there is little evaporation, so low \nprecipitation alone determines its status as a desert.\n\nIn Antarctica precipitation is less in the interior of the continent than along the coasts.  The reason is that coastal areas are more open to the influence of cyclones.  In the interior of Antarctica precipitation is as low as 50 mm per year, while in coastal regions it can be as high as 250 \nmm per year.  Thus even coastal precipitation is usually within the range that we would consider to be a desert.  The entire continent is, therefore, a vast cold desert.  It is, larger than the Sahara (Antarctica is about 14.2 million square kilometers in size, and the Sahara is just over 9 million square kilometers).  \n\nAntarctica is clearly the largest desert on Earth.  The reason you do not often see it listed along with hot deserts \nis mainly just that people think of deserts as hot.

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
