    $\begingroup$ Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ In order to change the land into a desert, it would have to change rainfall patterns. Temporary removal of water won't cut it. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ So, how hot is this plane of fire? Or are you wanting to turn the land into a glassy "desert", and need us to tell you how hot it is? (Beware, desert just means an area with rainfall below a certain small figure, eg. the Arctic where it's too cold to rain is classified as desert. Mary has a point, it'd need to be quite some change, possibly on a planetary scale.) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Very good point! I should have clarified that by "desert", I meant an arid, sandy region. I'll edit my question. $\endgroup$
