Lots of mistakes in your video. 1) The area you outline in the US as "desert" is mostly semi-desert - a similar climate to roughly 50% of the geography of Spain. True desert climate in the US is in a very reduced area of the South West. 2) Europe does have desert climates - coastal Almería province is a true desert climate (not Tabernas which is at higher altitude). 3) There is nothing unusual about Tabernas. Even Madrid, the capital of Spain, is technically in a semi-desert climate. There are places as arid as Tabernas peppered all over Spain.
Don't forget Ukraine oleshky desert, the Błędów desert, etc. Not to mention this idiot looking at a map that doesn't indicate anything about desertification.
3:07 Not to mention, Spain has lots of water issues, having to adapt various ways to be conservative on water. Your entire video is complete bs and you should either delete it, fucking get it off the platform, or at least fucking adres your fucking mistake, you disinformative piece of fucking Schweinehund.
Actually this is false. There are some real deserts in Europe, all of them in Spain (the Tabernas, Monegros and Bárdenas deserts), and lots of areas around the European continent are really dry. Most of the Iberian Peninsula, which the exception of the NW areas, Malta and Ukraine are arid areas, some of them grasslands very similar to the ones in the US and others are semi-deserts because, despite looking like ones, they still don't achieve the criteria for them calling deserts. 00:39 LOL... no, it's not! 02:40 Tabernas is a real desert, not a semi-desert. And, in the Mediterranean, there is a West to East current, so moisture generally can't reach Iberia from the Mediterranean. The result is that most of Spain is really dry and looks like a desert, in some places even in Winter!
Also Ukraine, Poland, etc Not to mention 3:07 doesn't understand how dry Spain and how agriculture within the nation is such a challenge. This especially the past 30 or so years, with them having to be more and more conservative on water.
That is, some with the Netherlands though. Pukes when thinking about it. Aniway, the UK is good with biscuits. I don't want sugar or milk in my tea however. One thing, now that we're on the subject, wtf are Belgian buns? Whotf came up with a raisin cookie (rozijnenkoek) cover it with excessive amounts of glaze and throw a candied cherry on top? and than call this diabetes bun "Belgian bun"?
That's not true, there are so many deserts in Europe: cheese cakes, cremé brulee and all that. Haven't watch the video yet but the title is clearly wrong.
Europe has so as well and 3:07 the climate in Spain is quite dry, which is ideal 4 desertification, especially bc of climate change, what's a challenge towards agriculture and farmers have to be really conservative on water. Been to Spain since 1988 and water is a really big issue. Not only does this guy don't do any research, look again, he doesn't even understand how fucking maps work.
There is a very very tiny desert in (East)Germany. It's called "Lieberoser Wüste" (Wüste = desert). Maybe 4 km². The area is used by russian and eastgerman military. They cut down all trees to exercise their war-games. Until today whose bombs are in the earth and explode sometimes in hot summers. P.S.: I see, you named this desert already. 😀
@@CuriousReason Geography and Geopolitics are always a winner. But do keep making videos on other subjects like you have in the past. I like the variety you have.
You are right, Eurasia is one landmass but generally, European "continent" ends with Ural Mountains to the west and it includes tiny little piece of Kazakhstan in the south-east.
@CuriousReason Yes you can draw arbitrary "continental" borders anywhere. Heck even North and South America use the term "Continental Divide" to describe their mountains, but they divide no named continents. It's no more of a geological term than "country" or "state." Too many people mistake continents for tectonic plate boundaries or climate/ zones. These are things that helped the social divisions that actually define continents but are not consistent boundaries metrics for continents. I reserve the right to mock the usage of Continents geologically as freely as I mock the U.S.A's various measurement systems!
@@D.Jay. Amen! you have all the right to mock socio-political terms being called in geological context and mock the American measurement system. I will gladly enjoy mocking the imperial system with you as I hate it myself but the reason being that my most viewers are from the North America, I used the imperial system and I reserve right to do that, sir. 😂
There is a desert on the border of Kazakhstan and Russia - the Ryn Sands (yes, un Europe). Additionally, there is the Black Sands desert / semi-desert but it is anthropogenic - nomads’ made by the 19 century. I see in the comments that there is also one in Spain. There some other semi-deserts in the Caspian region
3:14 You forgot about overgrazing, invasive plant and animal species and one of the worst, direct farming next to natural water sources, there are deserts that have huge natural freshwater lakes, but they do not function as oases, there are no trees or shrubs around the lakes, this has nothing to do with Hadley cellic atmospheric circulations or coriolis, there must always be more life in the immediate vicinity of liquid water. Because these two listed reasons in the video do not explain the Sub-Sahara, nor the fact that in Central America the main forest zone begins at the latitude where the Sahara reaches its driest point.
And are one of the internet idiots, who believe this crap. This is disinformation and complete and utter bullocks. 3:07 Spain has a lot of problems, even having to adept a large amount of innovations towards water conservation. There are many deserts within Europe. This video is filled with so much disinformation, as well as maps wrongfully depicted and all, it rather sounds like a "American joke".

There is a desert in Spain, the Tabernas desert, in Almería (280 km²).
Is it aSemi desert? Is it over the desert rain fall limit?
@@D.Jay. Yes, It is a desert. The average annual precipitation of the Tabernas region is about 239 mm and the limit is 250 mm.
yes, he mentioned this at 2:37
He mentioned it. But its a semi desert
😂
There's a desert (semi-desert?) in Poland called Błędów Desert that has an area of 32 km2 (12 sq mi).
Its safe to say, its a joke as compared to arid hot/cold deserts. 😁
@@CuriousReason Very safe :)
Basically it is more of a foretless sandr than desert. Quite interesting anyway.
It’s not naturally occurring though
@@CuriousReason Hum... we have the Bardenas desert in Spain... and its well knowed because it was use in many cowboy movies....

Dessert not desert
Desert vs dessert
1. Geography
Desert is an area of land less than ten inches of rainfall.
2. Cuisine
Dessert is a sweet course at the end of a meal.
Because God had blessed Europe
"Deligradska peščara" ("peščara" from the word "pesak" meaning "sand") in Serbia. But we are turning it into a forest.
Arguably Europe is not a continent? Eurasia has plenty of deserts.
Europe has so as well

Not only does this guy don't do any research, look again, he doesn't even understand how fucking maps work.
There are deserts (plural) in Spain.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabernas_Desert
There's a desert in Ukraine - Oleshky Sands en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleshky_Sands
There's desert in Spain, Italy, Greece, Serbia, Poland, Ukraine and more. This is incorrect
As the size of a finger nail, doesn’t count
There is a real desert in Greece in the island of lemnos and I think it's only one that can be called a desert in Europe.
Thera is also historically very dry, requiring cisterns to supply its people.
There is a very very tiny desert in (East)Germany. It's called "Lieberoser Wüste" (Wüste = desert). Maybe 4 km².
The area is used by russian and eastgerman military. They cut down all trees to exercise their war-games. Until today whose bombs are in the earth and explode sometimes in hot summers.
P.S.:
I see, you named this desert already. 😀
He literally mentioned it in the video lol
And in spain and in crimea and in italy and in cyprus
Maybe because Europe isn't a continent but a subcontinent, like India.
Europe has the arctic desert
The Sahara has “expanded” into southern sicily and spain
Spain's Tabernas desert feels so unseen right now :( why you no think Spain is in Europe? Did the Moors conquer it again and I missed the headlines??
there is a desert in the greek island of Limnos maybe you 'd like to check it out?
tip off and thank you for your work wich is GREAT by the way
Its not a desert but a salt flat, i know it from arma 3!
Stop desert shaming us.
This video makes no sense. Europe's desert is Spain.
Denmark has a tiny desert on the northern tip of its peninsular
Is it called a sand dune?
Those beach photos are from Gran Canaria
Europe does have deserts. The Tabernas desert in Spain.
actually theres only one in europe which is located in poland
But Afro-Eurasia has the most deserts!!
What about parts of Cyprus are desert?
Cyprus is Asia
Amazing work as always, loved the video!
Deserts 🏜 are pretty interesting and how the earth's climates work

Roumania have a little desert,Serbia have too,Ukraine have too,Italy,Spain sure and etc
Europe is not a continent, Eurasia is.
There's a desert in southern Spain
If we are getting pedantic, then should we really be referring to the "European Continent" as a geologically identifiable individual landmass?

And Malta?
good water and land management could prevent almost all deserts
There is also a desert in Europe in Kazakhstan.
What is the background music ??
How about Iceland?
Pretty sure Iceland gets more than enough rain to not have any place considered a desert
