Question

which number on the map shows the gobi desert?

The Gobi Desert is located in northern China and southern Mongolia, in the highlands (tan - colored) region. Looking at the map, number 1 is in the highlands area north of China, which matches the location of the Gobi Desert. Number 2, 3, and 4 are in different regions (2 is more northern Mongolia - like but 1 is the typical Gobi - adjacent highland in northern China's vicinity, 3 is eastern, 4 is the Tibetan Plateau - like or inland basin? No, 1 is the Gobi's location).
