Uses of the Desert

Dubai

Dubai was not a very big island but then a German man and the president

agreed to build an extra part to the island and it is called the palm tree

island.

The Palm Islands of Dubai are the world's three largest man-made islands that have been built

on the coast of the emirate of Dubai.

Dubai is just a city on top of a desert it is very good for the heat the tourism and

Dannii Minogue on x factor.The hotels are very strange and posh. This is

good for making money.

This is a very famous hotel it is called Burj al arab

Solar powerSome solar panels are giant mirrors but

others are solar panels that absorb the sun light and changes it straight to energy but the mirrors shine the light up to a tower

which has a solar panel on it then the light is changed in to energy is cheaper doing it

this way.

The Sun is 150 million kilometres away and amazingly powerful so that is one good thing about the sun. But when it gets cloudy the sun can not reach the solar panels so it does not make any power. But in the desert there are no clouds because there is no water to evaporate in to clouds. Also there is nothing but waste land so there is

enough space to build giant solar farms.

OilTHE DESERT IS SO BIG THAT OIL MUST BE DEEP

DOWN UNDER THE IT. PEOPLE DECIDED TO BUILD OIL DERRICKS (PUMPS) IN THE DESERTS BECAUSE THEY ARE QUITE BIG AND THEY TAKE UP A LOT OF

SPACE BUT THERE IS A LOT OF SPACE IN THE DESERT SO THAT IS OK.THE WORLD HAS A BIG DEMAND FOR

OIL SO IT IS BEST JUST TO LOOK EVERY WHERE THERE MITE BE OIL. THE DESERT AND THE ARCTIC ARE THE BEST PLACES

FOR OIL. IF YOU HAVE A OIL FARM THEN YOU WOULD MAKE A LOT OF MONEY

SO THAT IS ONE GOOD REASON TO HAVE OIL FARMS.

Farming

Drip irrigation has been used since ancient times this waters the plants just by plugging it to a tap this saves human energy. Also if you have yards of farm to water then it saves time to. It is still used now not just in

the desert but all over the world.

Farming is great in the desert because of the heat you can grow exotic fruit but the only bad thing is

watering the plants but you can make fortunes from

farming in the desert so if you can afford pumping

water to the farm that is a great idea.

There is so much space in the desert that you could have miles and

miles of farms.
