Almost a third of the Earth's surface is occupied by vast stretches of stone and sand, having a torrid climate or, on the contrary, extremely frigid. As such, the regions considered to fall into the category of deserts, which can be hot and arid, semi-arid, coastal, or cold, are of interest for the present study. In the same context, at the level of the Maramure? County surface, a major place is occupied by the areas that have served mining activities, and which, at first glance, have similarities with the specific landscapes of deserts. Starting from the aforementioned, through the present work, we intend to underline, in the form of a comparative study, the main common elements that exist between the naturally formed (globally) and anthropic (locally) deserts, for those the latter considering the areas of Maramures County, affected by the specific mining pollution.
