| Geography and Climate |
Virtually the entire country, except for some small coastal areas, is barren desert, with a flat to rolling terrain. Soils are practically non-existent.
The average annual temperature is 25°C, and the average annual rainfall is 127 mm or less, most of which falls in the cooler season between October and March. During the dry season, temperatures frequently exceed 46°C. Ref. Microsoft, 1996 |
