Also, to be protected against rain-bearing weather systems by the atmospheric circulation itself, the desert is made even drier by its geographical configuration and location. Some scientists have argued that the climate change was very abrupt, and that it only took about a century for those grassy hills and valley lakes to become the stark sand dunes of today's Sahara.
