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 />

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf 
(PTI) Chairman Imran Khan termed Sindh government responsible for 
Tharparkar’s drought tragedy on Saturday, Dunya News reported.<br />
Government is busy in cultural festivals while thousands of citizens suffer from shortage of food, he said.<img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxZZt2_ekHtJ3qyeQaERWZyA9T7YoiUb10sd_7YTgrir5xO-DDAyoDdSA9DgSI01G2KA_o4-p1NJS9RkbXzu3OtzHu434FrFetgdFc7afIKHZQ3GZ8yjiAXVw8gCcgEZUpu0lQfjNcL5_L/s1600/sindh-festival-pictures-2013-4.jpg" width="640" /><br />
PTI Chief expressed concerns over conditions of drought-stricken 
citizens of Tharparkar. He said that Sindh government, despite having 
all resources, handed over the Tharparkar citizens to drought and famine
 adding that it is highly regrettable.<br />
Imran Khan demanded of Sindh government to provide immediate medicine 
and food items to the affectees. People are targeted by terrorism in 
Karachi while poor are killed by food shortage and poverty in rural 
areas of Sindh, he said.<img border="0" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Z-qMdslKrPL0lC2IsIlON2Z0di5YZWpZeZpNMYf6D5I8ZwYwe7Cc5X1En14-gqf_ub4D0uQNFKYoB0iqtkl0VVyksUZnaN_-MVS2c6Zv8V9YgI3J1nN6_bHjH2snwnBJ6OSl2VsOs1XZ/s1600/tharparkar.jpg" width="640" /><br />
It merits mentioning here that Tharparkar drought has worsened to a 
dangerous level, raising the death toll of starving children to 33, 
Dunya News reported on Thursday.<br />
Reportedly, shortage of food and drought has left people of Tharparkar fighting for their lives.<br />
The famine is ongoing for the past 3 years in Chachru Tharparkar; and 
according to Mathi hospital sources, the death toll of starving children
 has reached to 32 only in the past one month.<br />
According to Dr Abdul Jalil Bargari, starvation has caused death of 121 children thus far.<br />
Confirming the number of deaths, the health department has expressed concerns. <br />
At least 6 districts of Tharparkar desert is hit by the famine and drought causing the situation to turn extreme.<br />
Meanwhile, no notice by the Sindh government has been taken thus far despite dozens of deaths.<br />
It is pertinent to mention here that Sindh government has dozens of 
employees dedicated to a number of projects related to food security and
 crises management with studies sponsored by Asian Development Bank and 
United Nations.<img border="0" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsvwWFHSPtELiJ2rXGoD1S0T10nMzvha3GNapdBCgCX3knlayM9-yJa1XFeMBCmNtjXAfi3ha7lfG2n51hc0D8PLdrAU6xtjMSZ0gZnND__Di68fnRg6KwdJLtilrUnbrG9Hc-4SbQn5Oc/s1600/531ab0f3ae849.jpg" width="640" /><br />
According to Sindh government’s finance department’s Public Private 
Partnership (PPP) Unit website, the government lacks wheat storage 
capacity by 40-50% which causes ‘intense’ wastage of food.</div>
