Desert planet
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Desert planets were planets which consisted primarily of desert terrain. Several planets visited by the Doctor were deserts planets, notably Kaldor, Colophos, Androzani Minor, Desolation and Segonax. (TV: The Robots of Death, AUDIO: Last of the Colophon, TV: The Caves of Androzani, The Ghost Monument, The Greatest Show in the Galaxy)
Not all desert planets formed naturally; some planets, such as San Helios, were transformed into desert worlds as a result of alien intervention. (TV: Planet of the Dead)
Due to a stellar incident, Aridius' orbit around its suns transformed the planet into a desert over a thousand years. It was once an ocean world. (TV: The Chase)
