The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world, covering almost all of northern Africa and a quarter of the continent's total area. The desert is about 4,800 kilometers long from east to west and between 1,300 kilometers and 1,900 kilometers from north to south, with a total area of about 9,065,000 square kilometers. It runs through the northern part of the African continent, with a length of 5,600 kilometers from east to west and a width of about 1,600 kilometers from north to south, accounting for about 32% of the total area of Africa.

Introduction

The Sahara Desert is a source of great desert scenery with its spectacular desert scenery, vast sand seas, delicate sand dunes and stunning desert flair. The Sahara Desert was formed about 2.5 million years ago, and the climate of the Sahara Desert is controlled by the north-south transition of the trade wind belt, with many extremes occurring.

It has the highest evaporation rate in the world and the largest area recorded without rainfall for several years. Temperatures can reach frost and freezing at high altitudes, while lower altitudes can be some of the hottest in the world.

1. The Sahara Desert is the second largest desert in the world after Antarctica, with an area of about 9.06 million square kilometers, making it the world's largest sandy desert. The Arabic word Sahara means "great desert". It is located south of the Atlas Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, about north of the 14° north latitude, from the Atlantic coast in the west to the shores of the Red Sea in the east.

It runs through the northern part of the African continent, with a length of 5,600 kilometers from east to west and a width of about 1,600 kilometers from north to south.

2. There are various types of arid landforms in the Sahara Desert. It consists of stony deserts, gravel deserts, and deserts. The rocky deserts are mostly found in the higher areas of the central and eastern Sahara, and the Nubian desert east of the Nile is mainly a late stony desert.

Gravel deserts are mostly found between the rocky desert and the Zaoxun Desert, and are mainly distributed in the stony areas of the Libyan Desert, the Atlas Mountains, the Kusi Mountains and other piedmont alluvial fan areas.

3. The area of the desert is relatively broad, except for a few higher mountains and plateaus, there are large areas everywhere. The famous ones are the Libyan Desert, the Raibyanai Desert, the Al Obari Desert, the Eastern Desert and the Western Great Desert of Algeria, the Shesh Desert, the Juf Desert, the Avana Desert, the Birma Desert, etc.

4. The Sahara region is vast and sparsely populated, with an average of less than 1 person per square kilometer. Predominantly Arabs, followed by Berbers, etc. Population and agricultural production are mainly distributed in the Nile valley and oases, and some are mainly nomadic.

The Sahara Desert is located in northern Africa from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the Sudanese steppes in the south.

The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world, covering almost all of northern Africa and a quarter of the continent's total area. The desert is about 4,800 kilometers long from east to west and between 1,300 kilometers and 1,900 kilometers from north to south, with a total area of about 9,065,000 square kilometers.

Causes of the formation of the Sahara Desert

1. North Africa is located on both sides of the Tropic of Capricorn, which is controlled by the subtropical high pressure zone all year round, and the dry and hot downdraft prevails, and the African continent is narrow in the south and wide in the north, and the range controlled by the subtropical high pressure belt is large, and the dry heat area is wide.

2. North Africa is close to the Asian continent, and the northeast trade winds blow from the eastern land, which is not easy to form precipitation, making North Africa drier.

3. The coastline of North Africa is straight, and there is the Ethiopian plateau on the east side, which plays a blocking role in the humid air flow, so that the vast inland areas cannot be affected by the ocean.
