11 Sept 2022 Deserts make up one third of all land area on planet earth, and this area has been increasing due to climate change and loss of some wetlands all around the world.
Although the word “desert” may bring to mind a sea of shifting sand, dunes cover only about 10 percent of the world’s deserts. Some deserts are mountainous, others are dry expanses of rock, sand, or salt flats.
