Deserts are formed due to contrary winds
The research was carried out in collaboration with Professor George Duler of Aberystwyth University and Professor Charles Bristow of Birkbeck University. According to the research report, the desert was named 'Lala Lalia' after its shape. In this way, apart from deserts in Africa, Asia and North America, deserts of this type are also found on the planet Mars.

These deserts are formed due to the shifting winds. Lala Lalia is called the highest holy point in the local language of Morocco. The research found that the desert is advancing at a rate of about 50 centimeters per year. Scientists used a technology called luminescence dating to determine its age.
