The Kaʻū Desert consists mostly of dried lava remnants, volcanic ash, sand and gravel. The desert covers an area of the Kīlauea Volcano along the Southwest Rift Zone. The area lacks any vegetation, mainly due to acid rainfall. The Kaʻū Desert, however, is not a true desert, as rainfall exceeds 1,000 millimeters (39 in) per year.
