Browse Full-length Non-member TitlesDeserts are some of the harshest environments in the world. They can be found just about anywhere water is scarce, including in tropical rain forests and even in cold and snowy Antarctica. When most people think of deserts, they immediately think of scorching heat. However, it takes more than heat alone to create a desert.
