Some of the world's major deserts, listed under their respective continents, are:

North America

The Mojave Desert (SE California)

The Sonoran Desert (Arizona)

The Great Basin (West of the Rockies, east of the Sierra Nevada in the SW U.S.A)

South America

Atacama Desert

Europe

I do not know of any major European deserts

Asia

Gobi Desert (Mongolia and north central China)

Deserts cover SW Asia and Central Asia

Africa

Sahara Desert (across northern Africa)

Namib Desert (SW Africa)

Australia

A major desert covers most of central Australia

Antarctica

Even though it is not the typical hot desert, Antarctica has so little in the way of annual precipitation that it is considered the world's largest desert.
