Parts of Antarctica are considered to be deserts because it is too dry, there's no rainfall because it is too cold and the amount of snow that falls yearly is comparable with the amount of rains that falls in thee driest deserts on the planet, thus the lack of rain and snow makes it a proper desert, cold desert.

Antarctica is so dry that it's considered a desert. Huge ice sheets cover 98% of this frosty continent, Earth's southernmost region. Antarctica is the coldest, iciest, and windiest of Earth's continents. Few plants or animals can live in such a harsh place. But the oceans around the continent are full of life.

In much of what is now Canada, glaciers covered the land as little as 12,000 years ago and glacial erosion scoured the land surf
irinina [24]

The reason why the Midwestern United States have a very fertile soil, but Canada doesn't, despite both of them being covered by glaciers until relatively recently, and both having the same age of soil, is the climate and vegetation.

Canada is much colder than the Midwest, its winters are longer, and the summers mild, while the Midwest has higher temperatures, prolonged period of drought, and seasonal rainfall.

Because of this, Canada has been covered by coniferous forests. They leave relatively little biomass, and also the climate is making the decomposition of the biomass very slow, thus resulting in relatively poor soil quality.

In the Midwest, the climate is perfect for the development of the grasslands. The grasses grown and die each year. They live a lot of biomass, and the higher temperatures contribute that the biomass decomposes pretty quickly, thus resulting in good quality soil.

He African continent is home to the world's largest desert and longest river.
GarryVolchara [31]
<h2>Answer: False</h2>

The longest river in the world in is the Amazon, located in South America, with a length of 6800 kilometers, compared to 6695 of the Nile River.

It is understandable that for a long time it was believed that it was the Nile. However, a few years ago the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics published an investigation claiming that the Amazon is the longest river in the world.

On the other hand, the Sahara Desert itself is the largest (warm) desert in the world, <u>but</u> the Antartic Desert occupies the first place with an area of ​​13,829,430km^{2} compared to 9,065,253 km^{2} of the Sahara.

Taking into account that the definition of desert is a place with very little or no rainfall in the year.

<h2>Therefore this is false.</h2>
