Title

Nazca Lines Site

Description

The Nazca Lines, located in the Nazca Desert of southern Peru, are a series of large ancient geoglyphs created by the Nazca civilization between 500 BCE and 500 CE.The Nazca Lines are located in a desert region with an arid climate, characterized by minimal rainfall and significant temperature fluctuations between day and night. Although not directly situated on the coast, the Nazca Lines are still vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels, which can lead to water erosion, changes in precipitation patterns, and increased humidity.
