what is the name of the desert in north america???(in the US & mexico)???

Answer 1

The North American Deserts are made up of four desert regions: the Great Basin, the Mojave, the Sonoran, and the Chihuahuan.

Chihuahuan Desert
This desert lies primarily in Mexico, in the inter mountain basin in the Rocky Mountains between the Sierra Madre Oriental and the Sierra Madre Occidental. Most of this area is one of high elevations, with 3,000 to 6,000 feet being typical. A small northern portion extends into Arizona and New Mexico, but the majority is in the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi.

Sonoran Desert
The northern part of this desert is in Arizona and California, but it pushes far down into Mexico on both sides of the Gulf of California. Much of the Sonoran is located in low elevation country, and its southerly location makes it a hot desert.

Great Basin Desert
Centered over the state of Nevada, but continuing into portions of California, Oregon, Idaho and Utah, this desert is located between the Sierra /Cascade Mountains on the west and the Rocky Mountains on the east.

Mojave Desert
The Mojave is the smallest of the North American Deserts. It lies between the Sonoran and the Great Basin Deserts, and in some ways is transitional between the two.
