Answer 3

The easiest response would be "desert"....... within this ecosystem we have a place called "Bolson de Mapimi" and within this latter an area called "Zona del Silencio", but I don't think either of these 2 is what you're looking for -- way too specific for your kid's homework if you don't live in Mexico.... so I guess I'd go for the "desert" thing.

Answer 4

sierra madre
