Annotation. Uzbekistan is a landlocked country in Central Asia that is known for its diverse geographic regions. One of the prominent geographic features of Uzbekistan is its deserts and steppes. The Kyzylkum Desert, which translates to "Red Sand" in English, covers a significant portion of the country's territory. This desert is characterized by its vast stretches of sandy plains and sparse vegetation, making it a harsh and arid environment. In addition to deserts, Uzbekistan is also home to vast steppes that dominate the landscape of the country. The steppes of Uzbekistan are characterized by their grassy plains and semi-arid climate. These regions are important for agriculture and grazing, as they provide fertile land for growing crops and raising livestock. The steppes also play a crucial role in the biodiversity of Uzbekistan, as they support a variety of plant and animal species.
