What percent of New Mexico is desert?

Answer 1

None of Texas has rainfall rates low enough to call desert, though the Western part of the state is pretty arid.

The southwest portion of Texas is part of the very largeChihuahuan Desert. About 14 million acres of Texas is desert. However, the state has an area of 172 million acres, so it's not a large percent.

I live in Texas, and a lot of the time it's actually very moist and humid- but that depends where you live. Texas is so big and it has so many different areas. Some could be considered desert, but only a small percent of the whole state is technically desert.

Answer 2

The northern and northwestern parts of Mexico are dominated by the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts, respectively.

The Chihuahuan Desert runs from northern Mexico down through the middle of the country to near Zacatecas north of Mexico City, about 1000 miles.

Answer 3

33% of the land surface of the earth is desert.

Answer 4

The Chihuahuan Desert covers central Mexico from Zacatecas to the U.S. border and the Sonoran desert covers the northwest part of the country and Baja Peninsula.

Answer 5

Only the far southwestern parts of Texas are located in the Chihuahuan Desert - in the El Paso area. The desert receives, on average, 9 inches or less of rain per year.

Answer 6

29% (572,040 sq km / 220,866 sq mi) - the same size of Spain and Lithuania, or California and Illinois put together.
