Only bad in this video is no Celsius need to use international units or make a conversion

Demanding 4K version of this video so I can screenshot new wallpapers

Why not the temperatures also in Celsius.
Non US citizens are not use to this F.

Again, desertification doesn't mean desert formation.
Deserts are functional ecosystems adapted to low water availability.
Desertified areas refers to those ecosystems deeply damaged that has lost soil fertility and biodiversity.
Many ecosystems are vulnerable and can become desertified areas, no deserts.

I really like these short videos! I am homeschooling a son who has developmental disabilities and this 101 series has been great for an easy to digest overview of the topic.

I wanna know more about the coastal desserts.

I have noticed that desertification shouldn't be confused with a "desert ecosystem formation". Desertification is a lost of resources within an ecosystem which implies soil and flora lost. The result becomes a very vulnerable and poor biogeochemical interactions.
A desert ecosystem is the resulting system of evolution which implies hundreds or thousands of years of interactions. The soul structure is stable and functional, the flora and fauna are particularly functional and plenty adapted.
