Atacama Desert

Atacama Desert is a desert in northern Chile in South America, and it is one of the driest places. Between south latitude 18 ~ 28, the length from north to south is about1100km, and the width from the coast to the eastern foothills is100km. Under the comprehensive influence of the southbound airflow of the subtropical high belt, offshore wind and Peru cold current, this area has become one of the driest areas in the world, which has distinct uniqueness in the tropical arid climate type on the west coast of the mainland, forming a coastal and vertically narrow desert belt. The climate is extremely dry, with little rain and fog; The relative humidity is high, which can reach more than 70%; The annual rainfall is generally below 50 mm, and less than 10 mm in the north, which varies greatly; It hasn't rained in some places for several years. Salt marsh. Copper and saltpeter are abundant. There are world-famous open-pit copper mines in Chuji Camata, north of Capricorn, and world-famous natural saltpeter mines in the desert area in the north.

The cold current from Peru brought the coastal Antarctic cold water, which made the air cool and warm, and produced an inversion layer, which was also not conducive to the formation of rainfall. In a century, Iquique and Antofagasta have only two or four heavy rains. The temperature is low, and the average temperature in Antofagasta in summer is 18℃(65℉). This desert belonged to Chile, Bolivia and Peru in the19th century, and they often clashed over resources. In the Pacific War of 1879 ~ 1883, Chile won and occupied this area permanently. From the middle of19th century, saltpeter was mined. Before the First World War, Chilean saltpeter monopolized the world market, with an annual output of 3 million tons. Since the emergence of synthetic nitrogen, the saltpeter market has been greatly reduced and the local prosperity has plummeted. At present, the main resources are Camata in the Andes and Paposo in the coastal areas.

Part of the reason why the Atacama desert is so dry is that the cold current from Antarctica produces a lot of fog and clouds, but there is no rain. Alpaca.
