Question

like all the other continents do but eurpoe doesn't have one... and if you try to answer this question, uhh can you please make it a little specific? thanks soo much

Answer 1

Depends on your definiton of "desert", but certainly, compared to North America or Africa or Australia, most of Europe is too far from the equator.  So too cold and wet!

Answer 2

Spain does.  It has to do with weather patterns in around and above Europe. Many different air and water currents converge over Europe, influenced by geographical formation.

Answer 3

As George put it, there is a small dessert in Poland. I learned that from reading a Poland travelogue in Borders. I'm sure there r other such deserts throughout Europe, but I'd assume they aren't large enough to be major landforms in those nations.
