Difference between Desert and Sandstone

Desert vs. Sandstone

A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized (0.0625 to 2 mm) mineral particles or rock fragments.
