Talk:List of North American deserts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I thought about making a list like this some time ago, but unlike other geo features, there are actually very few named deserts, and it seemed that a non-redir list of deserts sectioned by continents would be more than enough. Stan 21:49, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Baja California desert and (Yuha Desert)

The description in the article explains how it is a different type of desert, because of the Pacific(humidity ( + winds?) ). The East side of the Peninsular Ranges are also a desert related to the "Sonoran", but possibly should be listed differently on this List of N.Amer. page. Maybe a Baja Calif listing: and what are the lower deserts for Baja California Sur. The Baja Sur page mentions the "Vizcaino desert" in the north part of Baja Sur.....(I'll make a change on the article page to see if it is agreeable.).. --MichaelMcAnnisYuma,AZ--Mmcannis 05:36, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

This and the content at List of deserts should be combined. It's silly to have one page that lists north american deserts and another that lists all the rest. Silly or americentric, which may be worse.

-there is a "Deserts of Egypt" page and I suspect other regional (by Continent) desert pages; I appreciated the "Deserts of North America" page, please keep it. I don't think "Americentric" has anything to do with it.

[edit] 5 major deserts

The intro states that there are five major deserts in the US.

I think these area

Chihuaua Sonora Mojave Great Basin Columbia Basin

Correct me if I'm wrong.

The list itself has headings and subheadings. The headings should be the 5 major deserts, with the minor deserts within listed below. For example, I believe the Colorado Plateau is part of the Great Basin desert. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.57.220.63 (talk) 00:46, 10 February 2007 (UTC).
