DAWN TO DUSK NEWS: Top 10 Deserts in the World

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Arid land masses that receive scarce rainfall are called deserts. 
Following the definition, dry regions that are colder may even be 
featured under the head of deserts. There are numerous deserts <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">in the world</span> where most of them have <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">their own</span> <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD8">speciality</span>.<br />

<h2>
1. Antarctic Desert</h2>
The entire continent of Antarctica justifies all definitions of desert and is referred to as the frozen desert or <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD12">the white</span> desert. With less than 10cm of <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD5">annual</span> rainfall and permanent ice cover, it is among the biggest deserts in the world today. It is the only desert that is not under any form of government.<br />

<h2>
2. Atacama Desert</h2>
Nearly the entire country of Chile is covered under the Atacama 
Desert. Despite the dryness, it has abundant life and beauty in the 
southern parts. The desert alone is the chief tourism resource for the 
country.<br />

<h2>
3. Gobi Desert</h2>
Situated in Mongolia atop a plateau, Gobi is a popular desert on the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">world</span> map. Its orange cliffs and rocks have earned the term ‘the flaming cliffs’ for the desert.<br />

<h2>
4. Kalahari Desert</h2>
Situated in southern part of Africa, Kalahari Desert conflicts the 
definition of desert as it receives respectable rainfall. However, the 
sporadic nature of rainfall does not settle on the surface and makes the
 region <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD9">a desert</span>.<br />

<h2>
5. Mojave Desert</h2>
Some spectacular rock formations and the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD10">Grand Canyon</span>
 characterise this desert in the United States of America. Its 
topography is typically mountainous but the region is threatened to lose
 its virginity due to urbanisation.<br />

<h2>
6. Patagonian Desert</h2>
It is situated in the country of Argentina and is the most distinctive land in <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">South America</span> apart from <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7">the Amazon rainforest</span>.
 It is cold and has numerous historic caves with painting made by 
ancient men in them. Its brownish red surface and foxes moving around 
make the visit worth the time, effort and expense.<br />

<h2>
7. Sahara Desert</h2>
The largest sandy desert on Earth has to have fair share of wonders 
to it. It stretches across various countries including Algeria, Egypt, 
Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, etc. <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD11">Sand dunes</span> and slight plantation rainfall characterise this desert and the Northern part of Africa.<br />

<h2>
8. Salar de Uyuni</h2>
Being the largest salty desert on Earth, Sala de Uyuni can change anyone’s perception of a desert. It is totally flat and therefore, its crystalline surface reflects the sky and appears in various <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD6">shades of blue</span> at different time of the day and across different parts of the desert.<br />

<h2>
9. Thar Desert</h2>
The Great Indian Desert because of the conflict of sustaining rich biodiversity despite being a desert with conventional features is among the popular deserts in the world today. It stretches partially across India and Pakistan.<br />

<h2>
10.  Wadi Rum</h2>
The best part about it is that it has claimed to be an unspoilt and 
the most beautiful desert on Earth. Huge mountains of sandstone and 
granite rocks offer breath-taking view to visitors.<br />
