South America: Patagonian and Argentinian Deserts, Atacama region. Arabian Peninsula: extends to Syria and Israel. Africa: Sahara, Kalahari, Danakil. Cold deserts in the Antarctic and Central Asia. Biotic Factors: Many plants and animals exist in the desert, contrary to popular opinion that deserts are desolate and sustain little life. Scorpions, coyotes, snakes, spiders, lizard, and cacti are just a few of the biotic factors. Abiotic Factors: Sand: The soil of a desert is maily comprised of vast sections of sand spanning over miles of land. The sand is dry and not mineral rich, enabling very little plant life to thrive on its foundation. Sometimes in cold deserts, moss and grass will join sand to make up the land and create very mineral-rich soil.
