A desert is a barren area of land where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation. About one third of the land surface of the world is arid or semi-arid.
Desert: a region with so little vegetation that no significant population can be supported on that land. This implies that it is dry, but not necessarily hot. There are several kinds of deserts, but they all have one thing in common - they each receive less than 25 cm (~10) of precipitation per year. Polar ice and snow deserts - the cold climate produces both low precipitation and relatively high evaporation rates, e.g., Antarctica.
