popularly known as a desert, has a variety of localised environments, including some verdant and technically non-desert areas. The Succulent Karoo is home to over 5,000 species of plants, nearly half of them endemic; approximately 10 percent of the world's succulents are found in the Karoo.[41] The reason behind this high productivity and endemism may be the relatively stable nature of precipitation.[42]Namibia's Coastal Desert is one of the oldest deserts in the world. Its sand dunes, created by the strong onshore winds, are the highest in the world.[43] Because of the location of the shoreline, at the point where the Atlantic's cold water reaches Africa's hot climate, often extremely dense fog forms along the coast.[44] Near the coast there are areas where the dunes are vegetated with hammocks.[45] Namibia has rich coastal and marine resources that remain largely unexplored.[46]Fish River Canyonදේශගුණය[සංස්කරණය]Namibia is primarily a large desert and semi-desert plateauNamibia
