The Sahara Desert is located in which of the following continent?
Answer
Correct Answer : c ) Africa
Explanation :The Sahara is a desert on the African continent.
It is the largest hot desert in the world and the third-largest desert overall with an area of 9,200,000 square kilometres, smaller only than the deserts of Antarctica and the northern Arctic.
It stretches from the Red Sea in the east and the Mediterranean in the north to the Atlantic Ocean in the west, where the landscape gradually changes from desert to coastal plains. To the south it is bounded by the Sahel, a belt of semi-arid tropical savanna around the Niger River valley and the Sudan region of sub-Saharan Africa.
Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
