Deserts 

Deserts are formed for various reasons, which include rain shadow deserts which are formed because it rains on one side of a mountain and by the time the air reaches the other side, it is dry. The Gobi desert in Asia is an example of this type. Lack of moisture in other areas, especially around the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn prevents any vegetation from growing. The Sahara desert is an example of this type. Lack of vegetation in deserts facilitates soil erosion and eroded rocks become sand which covers the land. Since there is no cloud cover in these areas, heat is absorbed during the clay thus making the days extremely hot. At night this heat escapes into the air thus making the nights cold. A combination of all these conditions creates deserts.
