	Naturearch.com -- Sahara Desert
		Sahara is divided into western Sahara, the central Ahaggar Mountains, the Tibesti massif, the Air Mountains (a region of desert mountains and high plateaus), Tenere desert and the Libyan desert (the most arid region).
		The mountains can also be considered to run to Alaska or Mexico, but usually those mountains are considered to be part of the entire American cordillera, rather than part of the Rockies.
		The mountains' geology is a complex of igneous and metamorphic rock; younger sedimentary rock occurs along the margins of the southern Rocky Mountains, and volcanic rock from the Tertiary (65 million-1.8 million years ago) occurs in the San Juan Mountains and in other areas.
