3 Gobi Desert The Gobi Desert has massive rocky areas, large dry grasslands, and a good bit of sand, but it also has bodies of water. Surface and underground rivers run through the desert, which is also home to some lakes. Some of archaeology's most significant finds have come from the Gobi, including the first dinosaur eggs. It is nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, and so its temperatures are very low. By Emma Brien

Precipitation averages less than 100 mm per year, while some areas only get rain once every two or three years.. Great Gobi National Park is one of the largest World Biospheres with an area larger than Switzerland. It contains the last remaining wild Bactrian (two- humped) camels, wild ass, and a small population of Gobi Bears? the only Desert-inhabiting bear. By Aerin Behar
