Sonora desert and Talampaya.

During this winter holidays i went to Talampaya and Valle de la luna, so as the teacher ask me to compare this dessert with another from the world.
Well, Talampaya si located in La Rioja, it has a the lowest vegetation i ever seen and also it is one of the most dry biomes.
Well i compare this biome with the Sonora Desert that is in United States and Mexico.This two dessert has a lot of things in comon for example  It is one of the largest and hottest deserts in North America, with an area of 311,000 square kilometers as is the dessert in Talampaya and Valle de la luna, this two dessert´s has a lot of Cactus as the Sonora Dessert, also the two dessert are in areas with has plateaus with little bushes.
Fauna
This two desserts hasn`t got a lot of animals, because they are two dry that the towns that are there need a truck to give them water from the capital city.
For example in Valle Fertil, they need a truck to come from San Juan to give them water.Also the towns that are in this dessert are very poor, because as they doesnt has too much water they cant cultivate vegetables, or to breed Cows or pigs.In the dessert of Sonora is something like that because as is too dry they cant breed cows and pigs so they are poor people.



Here are some images from the dessert in Talampaya and Valle de la luna:
