The correct answer is A: Meteorological studies show that the eastern Sahara region has the most sunlight in the world. Average annual sunshine hours: 4,300 hours. Daily sunshine hours: about 11 hours and 45 minutes. The reason why there is so much sunlight here is because the climate is extremely dry, with almost no cloud cover, combined with the geographical location near the equator, which helps the sunlight time last much longer than other areas.

The correct answer is option A: The Sahara is the world's largest hot desert with an average annual temperature of around 30 degrees Celsius, daily temperatures can rise above 50 degrees Celsius and can drop significantly at night making it one of the harshest places on the planet. The Sahara Desert is considered a super-arid environment.

  Wrong

The correct answer is option B: It is not wrong to say that the Sahara Desert covers almost the entire top part of the African continent, with 31% of the area. The Sahara Desert covers an area of ​​about 9.2 million square kilometers. At its widest point from North to South, the Sahara runs more than 1,800 km long. In width, from East to West, it extends more than 4,800 km. The Sahara Desert covers 10 countries including Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Sudan and Tunisia. However, the area of ​​the desert does not stop there. Scientists have discovered that the Sahara Desert is expanding. From 1962 to now, this desert has expanded by nearly 650,000 km2. Although the terrain is vast and is likened by many to the "desert of deserts", the Sahara is only the third largest desert in the world, after Antarctica and the Arctic.

6. The largest desert in the world is Antarctica. What is its area?

  4.2 million square kilometers

  14.2 million square kilometers

• icon

  24.2 million square kilometers

The correct answer is option B: The largest desert in the world is Antarctica with an area of ​​up to 14.2 million square kilometers (about 5.5 million square miles). Antarctica is the coldest place in the world, receiving no sunlight for many months. It does not have the characteristics of normal deserts such as heat, sandstorms, ... it is difficult to consider a cold place like Antarctica to be considered a desert. But because the rainfall is so little, this place is considered a desert, the average annual rainfall of Antarctica is only 50 mm and exists mainly in the form of snow. The reason there is very little snow but 99% of the surface of Antarctica is covered by glaciers is because the average temperature in Antarctica is minus 48 degrees Celsius. And it slows down the evaporation process. Due to climate change and global warming, many parts of Antarctica are showing signs of warming. Temperatures in Antarctica have risen 2.5 times over the past 50 years – five times faster than the rest of the planet. If the ocean warms, the ice in Antarctica will melt from below – where it meets the ocean.

7. What is the oldest mummy in the world found in the Sahara Desert?

  A child

  An adult

The correct answer is option A: The oldest mummy in the world was found in the Sahara Desert and it has nothing to do with the ancient Egyptian civilization. The Tashwinat Mummy is a small mummy of a child, discovered in a small cave in Wan Muhuggiag, in the Acacus Massif (Tadrart Acacus), Fezzan, Libya, by Professor Fabrizio Mori in 1958. The mummy is currently on display at the Assaraya Alhamra Museum in Tripoli. The child's organs had been removed before being buried in the desert. It was discovered that primitive preservatives had been injected into the child's body to preserve it as best as possible at the time. Considering the mummy was found thousands of years later, it seems that the ancient desert dwellers did a pretty good job of preserving the body. Carbon dating suggests that the body died around 3000 BC. It was an amazing discovery because it meant the Tashwinat mummy was about 1,000 years older than the oldest known ancient Egyptian mummies.

8. How much larger is the Sahara Desert today than it was 100 years ago?

  5%

  10%

  15%

The correct answer is B: The Sahara Desert is like a living thing because it is constantly growing. You may be surprised to know that the Sahara Desert is about 10% larger today than it was 100 years ago. Natural climate cycles and the effects of man-made climate change have influenced this growth. The Sahara and the Sahel Desert to the south are war-torn, lawless, and dangerous regions. With the desert rapidly expanding southward and taking over formerly arable land at an unprecedented rate, it will be a problem now and in the future. Countries like Mali, Mauritania, and Burkina Faso are seeing increased insurgency and terrorist activity for a variety of reasons. The expanding desert puts pressure on communities to survive in increasingly harsh conditions and will quickly create painful hotspots.
