what natural resources are available there?
Copper, iron, uranium
Desert
Other desert minerals are copper from Chile, Peru, and Iran, and iron and uranium in Australia. Many other metals, salts and commercially valuable types of rock such as pumice are extracted from deserts around the world.
where do we find deserts and what causes them to occur UNANSWERABLE what is a desert? A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. can we find water there? Lakes may form in basins where there is sufficient precipitation or meltwater from glaciers above. is farming possible there? Yes, traditional desert farming systems have long been established in North Africa, irrigation being the key to success in an area where water stress is a limiting factor to growth. what crops are cultivated? UNANSWERABLE what connection does human have with it? Humans have long made use of deserts as places to live, and more recently have started to exploit them for minerals and energy capture

Desert [SEP] Natural resource extraction
A desert especially rich in mineral salts is the Atacama Desert, Chile, where sodium nitrate has been mined for explosives and fertilizer since around 1850. Other desert minerals are copper from Chile, Peru, and Iran, and iron and uranium in Australia. Many other metals, salts and commercially valuable types of rock such as pumice are extracted from deserts around the world. Oil and gas form on the bottom of shallow seas when micro-organisms decompose under anoxic conditions and later become covered with sediment. Many deserts were at one time the sites of shallow seas and others have had underlying hydrocarbon deposits transported to them by the movement of tectonic plates.
