Saharan Sand: Authentic Sample from World's Largest Hot Desert
Own a piece of the vast Sahara Desert with this authentic sand sample, collected from the iconic sand dunes of the largest hot desert on Earth.
Product Details:
- Desert Overview: The Sahara covers most of the northern half of the African continent along the Tropic of Cancer, comprising about 8% of Earth's total land area. Only the Antarctic and Arctic cold deserts are larger.
- Geography: Approximately half of the Sahara consists of hyperarid sand seas, known as ergs. The remainder features dry, sparse shrublands and stony "desert pavement."
- Climate: The Sahara receives less than 20 mm (0.8”) of rainfall annually. The region undergoes long cycles of wet and dry periods, influenced by Earth's axial precession. In the next 15,000 years, it is expected to transform back into a green savanna.
- Environmental Efforts: The Great Green Wall initiative aims to plant a wall of trees along the southern edge of the Sahara by 2030 to ensure environmental and food security for the region’s growing population.
- Content: Each jar contains 1 oz of authentic Sahara sand.
Start your exotic sand collection with this genuine sample from the Sahara Desert, perfect for scientific enthusiasts and collectors alike.
