in which country is found the driest desert?

Question

its in a south american country.

Answer 1

The Atacama desert is nestled along the coast of Chile, South America right next to the Pacific Ocean the biggest body of water in the world. Much of the desert extends up into the Andes mountains and is very high in elevation. Unlike more familiar deserts, like the Sahara desert in Africa and the Mojave in California, the Atacama is actually a pretty cold place, with average daily temperatures ranging between 0°C and 25°C. The annual rainfall (or lack of it) defines a desert, but that doesn't mean that it never rains in Atacama. Every so often a warming effect over the Pacific Ocean around the equator changes the weather the world over and even places like the driest desert in the world can become doused with drenching storms. Even though Atacama gets almost no rainfall, there is water in this arid place. Salt Lakes, underground,
Snow and fog and dew. Hope this helps you out hun........Flo

This is an interesting question.Some say the Atacama desert in Chile gets the least rain.There are some places in the Libyan desert especially near the border with Egypt that get very very little rain if at all. Also the Téneré is known for its dryness.The Rub al Khali in Saudi Arabia gets very little rain in the center of it.In recent years some places in Libya have experienced more rain than usual.More to the south near Niger certain areas are getting dryer every year as is also the case in southern Sudan.
Soms say that these area's will become unhabitable by man in the future.
