Explanation
The Gobi Desert is a vast, arid region in East Asia. It primarily covers parts of Northern and Northwestern China and Southern Mongolia. It is the sixth-largest desert in the world and is known for its cold climate and unique ecosystems. The desert is bounded by the Altai Mountains and the Mongolian steppes to the north and the Tibetan Plateau to the southwest.
- Mongolia: The Gobi covers much of the southern part of the country.
- China: It spans across Inner Mongolia, Gansu, and parts of Xinjiang.
- Russia and Kazakhstan: These countries do not share the Gobi Desert. Russia lies to the north of the Mongolian steppe, and Kazakhstan lies further west, separated by the Altai and Tian Shan mountain ranges.
