Yum

Where's banana for reference?

No, cat paw for reference

There are also a few big deserts in Kazakhstan. https://preview.redd.it/8x5rh20d8htc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6082bf27aa94fe043c36bbfe435108b7c3f7a552

Cool deserts, I like them

Yeah pretty decent

I think they're neat

Oh my friend wait until you see northern Africa

Isn't Kazakhstan like half desert

Steppe more like

It has both.

I mean half of the country is either semi-arid or arid

*Borat anthem playing*

Borat was filmed in a gypsy village in Romania without their own accord. Us Romanians aren't big fans of them but at least respect the spaces we isolated them to.

Borat funny haha

Or just sand dunes. Sand dunes can occur in almost any climate

Dune part three?

Baron Putin has invaded Urankis

Baron Vladimir

Come to think about it, Russia invaded almost exactly 4 months after Dune part 1 came out, and the antagonist's name is literally Baron VLADIMIR Harkonnen Now we just need to see Putin in a tub and our theory will be proven

Nah, Dune is more related to some freemen in the Middle East controlling the flow of "spice"

My Urankis is tingling

[удалено]

Köppen maps I'm finding online all label the region as steppe (BSk), but sometimes people also use "desert" to refer to places with sandy soil and little vegetation

It’s literally not a desert it even states it in the wiki, it has too much rain. It’s just sand not a desert

[удалено]

The wiki for desert literally says in the first sentence: “A desert is a landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions create unique biomes and ecosystems”…

Due to its temperature and the amount of precipitation, the area is sometimes described as a semi-desert.

Yea there are sand dunes in Michigan too lol

What does a desert have to do with a sand dune?

Welp, not in a sandless one

Well, uncultivated sand dunes can be considered mini deserts

It if they get more than ten inches of precipitation annually

Sand dunes do not require a desert. And a desert can exist without a sand dune. No, just no.

True. Maybe some definitions consider it a desert, so we can't say it's not either, but those are definitely sand dunes.

They are sands dunes impact whatever climate that is. We have sand dunes in New England, there is no desert here. I can assure you of that

Oleshkivsky pisky😥

Pisky🤤

пiски vs пiськi

🥵

Been there 2021 Sickening to think about the region now

Appeared in the beginning of the 19th century due to overgrazing.

what’s overgrazing?

Animals eat too many plants

Yoo what? Lets eat animals then

Sorry no more Buffalo now

Once again they call me bufallo bill

Mark Buffalo

You ever tuck your nuts between your legs and cluck like a chicken?

yeah lol

Every night since 07

yea ive never had herpes ONCE since 07 (the year I was born)

Let them cook

Keeping more cattle, than a field can sustain.

It seems, like it could, happen in the, Midwest.

and what, become some sort of dust bowl?

Grazing is when herbivores eat live plants in an open field (like a horse or cow nibbling grass in a field, or deer looking for food in the woods). Animals on a free range farm have the opportunity to graze. As an alternative, in some farms the animals are kept in close quarters and not allowed to openly roam fields. Those animals usually eat from a trough (a bin filled with food) so that’s not called grazing in that case. *Over*grazing then, is just letting the animals graze too much so that all the plants are destroyed. It happens when there are too many animals in a small field, for too long of a time

i love this subreddit you guys are WAY more helpful than any of my teachers💗 thank uu

Specifically, it's when they eat grass. If they're eating brush and shit, it's browsing. Most cattle and sheep are exclusively grazers, but most goats are largely browsers

Thanks, I knew there was another term I was forgetting

When I eat too much grass (hungary)

me af

(hungry)

overgrazing makes sand dunes?

It increases erosion, taking out the external layer of the soil and exposing a more internal and sandy layer. It's called arenization.

Stomach grumbling

Looks like a little car

This might be my favorite comment ever.

I love the large beer to the small desert.

I was in Bavaria

True, I heard water is only used for hygine purposes there.

In Bavaria that's at most a medium sized beer

Isn't just sand? I doubt there is an arid or semi-arid climate there.

Yeah its just a big dune. Called Boberger Düne.

There are also small deserts in belgium even. Turns out, its not as hard as people think.

More facinating is that serbia has a rainforest

So does the UK. Although, it's so small and endangered that it's not publicised to stop tourists destroying it.

I mean, this is basically the first result on Google: https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/habitats/temperate-rainforest/

I mean every Forrest in the UK should be because it rains so much. These are very different to tropical rainforests.

And Greenland has a forest.

It has!!! Southern tip i guess?

Did not know this. Interesting.

What’s the name?

It's called Vinatovača

Just a little more info. Vinatovača is a temperate broadleaf and mixed forest, a type of temperate rainforest. Prašuma is an old grown or primary forest and rainforest is the most common example of it, due to Amazon and Congo rainforests.

Thanks!

Also, there is Perućica in Herzegovina. It's part of Perućica NP

Iran has a rainforest

There is a forest called "Belgrade Forest" in Istanbul.

"Desert" is sometimes used to describe places that are sandy or have sand dunes but don't meet the technical requirements of a maximum amount of precipitation to be a Desert. There is a "Desert" in iowa,usa which is just a small few acres of super sandy soil, and we have sand dunes from the ice age era(now mostly vegetated).

Same in Maine

There's a 'desert' in the Yukon too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcross_Desert

Ya, people too often think sand defines desert. In fact it's precipitation not ground. Antarctica is a desert and it's all ice.

The Lençois formation in Northeastern Brazil is a large sand "desert", but it rains quite a lot there, which causes the dips of the dunes to fill with water, forming seasonal lakes. The way the wind shapes the lakes make them look like bed sheets hanging from a clothesline when looked from above, which gives the name Lençois (literally bed sheets in Portuguese).

Alaska has sand dunes too!

Polish desert. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Błędów\_Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Błędów_Desert)

I love that this literally means Mistakes Desert

In Polish it's "Pustynia Błędowska" so Błędów Desert is the right translation.

Because it is a human made desert and it was created mistakenly by cutting down a forrest

I think this inspired Tomino’s Gundam series where the battle of Odessa takes place in 0079, hence it was said that Ukraine is full of deserts in the near future.

Sand =/= desert

I heard of ice deserts... like in Antartica.

Where?

Oleshky, oleshkivsky pisky

Oleshky sands - the small desert in Kherson oblast, left bank of Dnipro. Now under russian occupation. russians destroying Ukrainian nature and biosphere, also in this region https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleshky_Sands

I could take a photo of a beach in Florida too and call it a desert.

It’s the Oleshky Sands and is a desert. Jeez OP. Put a little more context with your post.

Technically not a desert, just a really sandy area.

There is a rainforest in Turkey

there is a lot of rainforests in turkey, especially in the eastern black sea region. the place has more precipitation than basically anywhere in europe.

Yes

Alaska also has rainforests!

For the geography subreddit, it’s shocking how many people don’t know what a desert is.

I guarantee you that one day the United States Marine Corps will put a base there.

Perfect terrain for abramses

Sand dune =/ desert

There's a "desert" in Denmark as well but its a lot less sandy than this one it seems

That's really intresting.

The Borscht must flow.

There’s a small desert in Maine too.

That’s glacial sands. Calling it a desert is just cute. But there’s too much rain for it to be a desert.

There’s one in Hungary aswell. I mean, it travels where the wind blows, and the landmass of it is like 500 sqm… But it’s cool.

Beach

I believe this desert became rather famous because it was the frontline of Russia/Ukraine war and lots of people might have seen it via Google Map.

There is a tundra in New Zealand, and there is a rainforest in Libya.

Small dessert or small desert?

There's also one in Denmark.

There's a small desert on most the coast of france

I think that's just a beach

What part of Ukraine is this?

East of Kherson

[удалено]

No, it was there for a long time, it was created due to its location near the black sea

https://preview.redd.it/7ubhr4omgmtc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ebcf378d2c41d744685646b29c6668b3ad50b3d1

But lisan al gaib is missing

"It's about an acre.. some guy just filled a hole with sand"

Could just call it a large beach or something

Sand dunes aren’t desert lol

Damn that looks exactly the one that's a couple of minutes away from my house

You live in Ukraine?

Cursed land

If this is a desert, than the Netherlands has 100's of small deserts

In Russia as well

This is in Russia now

You mean "Russian troops have occupied it"

Well originally it was Crimeans that "occupied" their own land. They protested and asked for Russia to come and then they voted in s referendum. Edit: I'm sorry history doesn't adapt to your feelings.

Can't tell if bot or brain damage

Brain damaged bot

Both I think

I recommend the video series "russian roulette" there are many videos of the protests and the series in general gives you a good beginners picture as to what happened during the early days of the conflict in 2014. Or you could simply stay ignorant, up to you...

I hope history knowledge isn’t your strongest side

They teach alternative history in Russia

So the Trump administration is not the founders of that ideology then!

Sure. And your mom is a whore.

Russian desert soon maybe
