OCR: There are many different types of desert landscape including seas of sand; vast rocky plains; huge areas of sparse shrub vegetation; dense cactus forests; salt flats; tree-lined bases; deep canyons, salt lakes and barren mountainous regions. Desert scenery can be spectacular: for millions of years the power of wind and water have eroded and changed the desert landscape. Wind blasts sand and gravel against rocks, sculpturing impressive rock and sandstone formations; it also builds and re-shapes huge sand dunes.
