What is the largest desert in the world...? Mcqs

The Antarctic Desert is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on Earth. It is located at the southernmost part of the planet and is considered the largest desert, though it is a cold desert, not a hot one.

• Size: It spans approximately 14 million square kilometers, making it the largest desert by area.
• Climate: Temperatures can range from about -20°C to -60°C, and in some regions, the temperature can drop even lower. It receives very little precipitation, averaging only about 20 millimeters annually, primarily in the form of snow.
• Ecosystem: Despite its harsh conditions, it supports various life forms, including penguins, seals, krill, and other cold-adapted organisms.
• Ice Sheet: The continent is almost entirely covered by an ice sheet that holds about 60% of the world's fresh water.
