The German noun 'Wüste' translates to 'desert' in English. It refers to a barren and arid land that receives very little precipitation and is characterized by extreme temperatures.
Deserts are typically found in regions with low rainfall, such as the Sahara Desert in Africa or the Mojave Desert in North America. They cover about one-third of the Earth's land surface and can be classified into different types, including hot deserts, cold deserts, coastal deserts, and polar deserts.
Due to the harsh conditions, deserts are often sparsely populated and have limited vegetation. However, they are home to unique plant and animal species that have adapted to survive in these challenging environments.
