The desert of Gobi is situated between Mongolia and China in the centre of Asia. It’s name comes from a Mongolian word which meaning is a place without water. This desert is the coldest of ten big deserts.
Gobi’s climate is very extreme. In winter temperature is – 40 grades and in summer is 45 grades exactly in July. The rain arrive in the hottest months. This climate create a big area which plants called estepa grow. There are tall sand dunes.
Scientists think in the past climate of Gobi was less severe. Today we know that dinosaurs lived in this place millions of years ago. In 1920 a Northamerican scientist went to the desert and founded dinosaure eggs of 95 milions years ago which shows this animal put eggs. In this place people found remains of a big dinosaur.
