The gobi desert, in the interior of asia, sits more than 2,000 km away from the nearest ocean and is therefore a good example of a:

C. continental-interior desert.

Options:

A. rain-shadow desert.

B. polar desert.

C. continental-interior desert.

D. desert that forms because cold, dense air cannot rise to form clouds.

Explanation:

Deserts are dry areas which receive low rainfall, less than ten inches annually, or experience much higher evaporation compared to the annual rainfall received.  

The Gobi desert is an example of a continental interior desert. These are deserts located in the center of continents, far from oceans or other large water bodies. Therefore, the winds that reach these deserts lose all humidity due to their distance from the coast.
