Asia has many deserts. In the Gobi Desert, winters are cold and snowy. Summers are hot.
Strong winds blow the sand. This causes sandstorms. Sand can be blown 600 miles away!
The hot Arabian Desert may not have any rainfall for years. A lot of oil lies under this sandy desert.
The Negev is a rocky desert. It has mountains, too. Good farming has turned some of the Negev into a green land of trees.
