The Mojave Desert is part of the North American Desert region.

The Mojave Desert is one of the major deserts that make up the North American Desert region, which spans parts of the United States and Mexico. This region includes four distinct deserts: the Mojave, Sonoran, Chihuahuan, and Great Basin deserts. Each desert has its own unique characteristics, such as climate, flora, and fauna, but they all share similar features like low rainfall, arid conditions, and extreme temperatures. The Mojave Desert stands out for its iconic landscapes, such as sand dunes and Joshua trees, contributing to the diverse natural beauty of the larger North American Desert region.
