The Kalahari Desert lies mainly in which country?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Botswana
The Kalahari covers most of Botswana and extends into Namibia and South Africa, roughly 900,000 square kilometres of red sand across the interior plateau of southern Africa. It is a semi-desert rather than a true one: it receives more rain than the Sahara and carries grass and acacia scrub, so it supports substantial wildlife. Its distinguishing feature is that the sand absorbs the rain that falls, leaving almost no surface water. On its northern edge lies the Okavango Delta, where a river flows inland and evaporates rather than reaching the sea, creating a vast seasonal wetland in the middle of the dry country. The San people have lived in the Kalahari for millennia. Egypt and Morocco lie within the Sahara, and Nigeria is mostly tropical savanna and forest, with only its far north approaching the Sahel.
