Answer 1

A. The Sahara Desert is located in North Africa. Many parts of North Africa, including countries such as Libya, Egypt, Algeria, and Sudan, are covered by the vast Sahara Desert, which is the largest hot desert in the world. The harsh climate, extreme temperatures, and lack of water make much of the Sahara Desert uninhabitable, resulting in large areas of North Africa being sparsely populated or uninhabited.
